What the college says

Chemistry A-Level is linear. Assessment of a student's knowledge and understanding of the whole course takes place at the end of two years. Students will not be expected to complete an AS examination at the end of the first year, but will complete internal school exams. Chemistry is a fascinating subject, combining theory and practical work to explain how the world around us works. Chemistry is a pivotal Science, vital for Medicine and Veterinary Science and a very good fit with both Biology and Physics, as well as many other subjects. Prospects for students with a Chemistry A-Level are bright. Seen as a challenging subject by both Universities and employers, a Chemistry qualification shows you are able to understand and analyse complex ideas and apply them to unfamiliar situations. Of course, Chemistry is fun too! If it can be set alight, be caused to explode or give off foul gases, then it must be Chemistry!
