What the college says

A Level Chemistry is suitable for students who have a strong interest in science, particularly in understanding the composition, properties, and reactions of substances. Typically, students who wish to take A Level Chemistry should have good grades in GCSE Chemistry or Combined Science, along with strong mathematical skills, as calculations and problem-solving are key components of the subject. It is an essential qualification for those planning to pursue careers in medicine, pharmacy, engineering, biochemistry, environmental science, and other science-related fields. However, anyone with a passion for chemistry and a willingness to engage in both theoretical and practical work can study it, provided they meet the entry requirements of their school or college.
