Overview

Chemistry is often described as the most versatile science as it overlaps with both biology and physics. The study of chemistry plays an important role in the modern world, from the development of new medicines and electronic gadgets to how we control levels of pollution or identify materials in outer space. Chemistry has a huge impact on our lives; we all experience chemical reactions daily, whether it is breathing, baking a cake or driving a car. Therefore, studying chemistry helps us explain these and many other interactions by analysing all the associated elements and compounds they form.

Throughout the course, students will study a wide range of topics, including atomic structure, chemical bonding, thermodynamics, kinetics, equilibrium, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and analytical techniques. The A-Level aims to develop students' understanding of the fundamental concepts of chemistry and their ability to apply these concepts to solve problems and analyse chemical phenomena.
