Course Information
Chemistry is an experimental science that combines academic study with the acquisition of practical and investigational skills. It is often called the central science, as chemical principles underpin both the physical environment in which we live and all biological systems. Apart from being a subject worthy of study in its own right, chemistry is a prerequisite for many other courses in higher education, such as medicine, biological science and environmental science, and serves as useful preparation for employment.
Syllabus Outline
The syllabus is a subject guide and not intended to necessarily be the teaching order. This provides a detail of what must be covered by the end of the 2-year course. The core and AHL topics may be taught at the same time or taught in a spiral fashion. The option topics could be taught as stand-alone topics or could be integrated into the teaching of the core and/or AHL topics.
