What the college says

This course is for students who want to continue studying chemistry after GCSE. You'll already be familiar with some of the topics, but the A level will give you the chance to study these and some new ones, in much greater depth. You might be choosing chemistry because you're headed for a scientific career, though it will give you skills such as analytical thought, problem solving and research that can be used in a wide range of non-scientific careers too.

What you need to get on

Standard entry requirements plus a minimum of a grade 6 or higher in GCSE combined science or GCSE chemistry.

How you are assessed

Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
