Chemistry A Level
Is this course for me?
Dive into the fascinating world of A Level Chemistry, where you'll unlock the secrets of atoms, reactions, and energy—gaining the skills to solve real-world problems and power the future of science.
Chemistry is the study of matter. Often referred to as the 'central science', it bridges the gap between the intricate biological processes we observe in living organisms, and the unique behaviour of molecules at the quantum level.
OCR A Level Chemistry is split into six modules: practical skills in chemistry, foundations in chemistry, periodic table and energy, core organic chemistry, physical chemistry and transition elements, and organic chemistry and analysis.
These modules give you a deeper understanding of concepts established at GCSE level, and help develop the reasoning skills needed to explain unfamiliar phenomena in chemistry. You will also master a range of practical skills, through a variety of experiments, including the chemical analysis of unknown compounds, building and testing cells, and synthesising the drug aspirin.
Through a combination of written exams and practical assessments.
Full-time for two academic years.
A minimum of 5 GCSE subjects graded 9-5 including English and 2 GCSE subjects graded 9-6 including Maths and Combined Science / Chemistry
n successful completion, you'll be fully supported in applying to top universities nationwide, opening doors to prestigious careers in medicine, dentistry, and veterinary science, as well as exciting fields like chemical engineering, biochemistry, forensic science, and pharmaceuticals. If you're looking to enter the workforce, we'll also guide you through job searches and applications, helping you take the next step toward a bright future in science.
As part of your Academic Development Day, you'll broaden your understanding of higher education and career opportunities in STEM. You'll have the chance to join our Medical Society, gaining insights into medical careers, ethics and research, and we'll support you in entering prestigious competitions like the Cambridge Chemistry Olympiad. These opportunities will help you explore chemistry beyond the A Level curriculum, strengthen your UCAS applications, and stand out to top universities and employers.
