What the college says

This course teaches the theoretical and practical skills necessary to become an advanced chemist. There will normally be one or two practical sessions per week backed up by theoretical work. The course is designed to relate to real-world chemistry and each topic is framed by the context in which the chemistry can be applied. Our course still involves pops and squeaks, colour changes and smells. You will gain new skills which are useful in the subject but many are also transferrable. Chemistry is a subject of endless possibilities; many of our ex-students are involved in cutting edge research into new drugs and materials. In order to do well on this course you will need to work very hard outside the classroom, solving problems and assimilating new ideas. Please contact Backwell School to discuss this course information in more detail.
