What the college says

Chemistry is the central science that impacts on all parts of our lives. An understanding of chemistry is necessary in approaching all other sciences, from astronomy to zoology. All of the materials used by engineers and technologists are produced through chemical reactions, and we all experience chemical reactions - continuously - whether it be in breathing or baking a cake or driving a car. Chemistry is concerned with molecules, their physical and chemical properties, their composition and structure, their synthesis and use in the 21st century. This course will be of interest to you if you want to study chemistry, medicine, forensic science, biochemistry, pharmacology or other related subjects. Course Structure Chemistry A Level is split into six modules: Modules 1 to 6, combined with the Practical Endorsement, constitute the full A Level. The modules can be summarised as: Module 1: Development of Practical Skills this module underpins the whole of the specification, and covers the practical skills that students will develop throughout the course. The practical skills in this module can be assessed within written examinations and within the Practical Endorsement. Module 2: Foundations In Chemistry introduces the concepts required throughout the remaining modules. Module 3: The Periodic Table and Energy. Module 4: Core organic chemistry. Module 5: Physical Chemistry and Transition Elements. Module 6: Organic Chemistry and Analytical Techniques. Assessment at A Level: Paper 1
