What the college says

The course covers all the key concepts of Chemistry. As learners progress through the course they will build on their knowledge of the foundations of Chemistry, and apply this knowledge to help them understand key concepts regarding the Periodic Table, organic and physical chemistry. There is a strong emphasis on practical skills and for A level only, the Practical Endorsement will also support the final qualification. The course aims to develop essential knowledge and understanding of different areas of the subject and how they relate to each other; develop and demonstrate a deep appreciation of the skills, knowledge and understanding of scientific methods; develop competence and confidence in a variety of practical, mathematical and problem solving skills; develop their interest in and enthusiasm for the subject, including developing an interest in further study and careers associated with the subject; understand how society makes decisions about scientific issues and how the sciences contribute to the success of the economy and society (as exemplified in How Science Works).
