What the college says
The A-Level Chemistry course at this centre follows the OCR A Advanced Chemistry course. This route is very strongly based on the key concepts as well as the real-life stories in which chemistry happens. Over the two years, you will have the opportunity to find out about parts of chemistry as diverse as the elements that make up your body, the chemistry of petrol and the way in which chemists set about designing and manufacturing pharmacologically active drugs. There is a very strong emphasis on practical work and students on the course typically get to do one or two large practical experiments every week. You will learn new techniques such as titration and reflux as well as building upon GCSE knowledge.
