What the college says

2 year linear study. Course objective: Chemistry is the study of substances, what they are made of, how they interact and the role they play in living things. No matter how the world changes in the 21st century, Chemistry will always be at the centre of science and at the heart of life. The Salters course aims to broaden the appeal of Chemistry by emphasising the applications of chemistry and the work that chemists do to enrich people's lives. Course content: You will learn about chemical topics ranging from the development of new medicines and the chemistry of the oceans to the chemistry behind the depletion of ozone in the atmosphere, the extraction of minerals and the discovery of new pharmaceuticals. The course examines how the accidental discovery of polythene led to exciting new ‘designer polymers’ that have revolutionised our lives as well as the exciting chemistry behind the colours in the clothes we wear. During the course you will develop the practical skills needed to handle chemicals safely and perform accurate analytical chemistry. There are opportunities to visit the research laboratories at Southampton University. Progression opportunities: Students who have studied A level Chemistry may go on to study for a science or chemical science degree or many related degrees such as pharmacy, forensic science or biological sciences. Most courses in medicine or veterinary science also demand an A level in Chemistry. A Level Chemistry is also a good training for the world
