What does the course consist of?

  • The AS course is made up of three units, two of which are theory-based and the third is practical. The same structure is found in the A2 course. You will cover a wide variety of material at AS, where the fundamental principles of Chemistry will be explained. Topics will include Atomic Structure and Bonding, Kinetics, Energetics, Equilibria, Group 2 and Group 7, and Organic Chemistry.
  • Practical work is linked closely to the theory, with the aim of developing understanding through â€-hands-on†experience
How is this course assessed?
  • Your knowledge and understanding of the theory is assessed via two written exams in each year
  • Practical skills are also assessed and contribute to the final grade in both AS and A2
What might this course lead on to?

  • A good grade in Chemistry will also improve your prospects of gaining a place on many other highly competitive higher education courses such as Law, Accountancy, Engineering, Psychology and Physiotherapy
  • A wide range of careers in industry
