What the college says

In a time of many qualifications competing for recognition, Chemistry remains one of the A Levels regarded most highly by top universities. Students who succeed in chemistry can go on to further study in a variety of courses due to chemistry’s ‘central’ nature. Many of the more recent advances in biomedical and engineering sciences lean heavily on chemistry, but this qualification is also indicative of broader analytical and problemsolving skills that could lead to careers in such diverse fields as the law, financial services or the media.
