You will study 12 core practical units involving inorganic and organic chemistry including: period 3 elements and their oxides, transition metals and reactions of ions in aqueous solutions. Organic chemistry practicals include: optical isomerism, aldehydes and ketones, aromatic chemistry, amines, polymers, amino acids and proteins, DNA, organic synthesis and chromatography.
It is recommended that you consider taking Mathematics to help you with your studies in A Level Chemistry. You will be expected to attend maths for scientists sessions once per week if you do not take maths.
You will study 3 A Level subjects, plus tutorial and career development sessions. Each subject has 6 hours per week contact time, with approximately 4 hours of independent study.
Unfortunately, we cannot accept students who only want to study a single A Level subject due to funding limitations.
