What the college says

An A Level course in Chemistry. Chemistry is the study of matter, its properties, how and why substances combine or separate to form other substances and how substances interact with energy. Many people think of Chemists as being white-coated scientists mixing strange liquids in a laboratory, but the truth is we are all Chemists. Doctors, nurses and veterinarians must study chemistry, but understanding basic chemistry concepts is important for almost every profession. Chemistry is part of everything in our lives. Every material in existence is made up of matter — even our own bodies. Chemistry is involved in everything we do, from growing and cooking food, to cleaning our homes and bodies, to launching a space shuttle. Chemistry is one of the physical sciences that help us to describe and explain our world.
