What the college says

The decision to embark on A Level Chemistry should not be taken lightly. Chemistry is an incredibly popular, yet very demanding subject, comprising two years of intensive study. As such it is a well respected A Level, essential for careers such as medicine, veterinary science, dentistry and pharmacy but also invaluable for progression into any science based subject area. The skills and abilities developed over the two years in Chemistry are also highly regarded in almost every other possible career path. At the end of the course in addition to the A Level qualification, subject to successful completion of a series of chemistry experiments, you will also be awarded a practical endorsement certificate in Chemistry demonstrating your achievement in a wide range of chemical experimental techniques.By studying the fundamentals of chemical science, including the structure of atoms and ions, measurements of physical properties and the study of reactions, chemistry students soon learn how to apply their acquired theoretical principles into a range of new and exciting fields of chemical science, ultimately paving the way for future discoveries to benefit us all.
