We offer an interesting and challenging experience to link key chemical ideas and understand how they relate to each other. You will follow an established and successful course that is dynamic, demanding and popular. You will develop transferable skills including investigating, problem solving, research, decision making, mathematical skills and analytical skills. Many universities see Chemistry as very desirable, particularly if you have a good range of A Level subjects.

A Level Chemistry is an excellent base for a university degree in healthcare such as medicine, pharmacy and dentistry as well as for degrees in the biological sciences, forensics, physics, engineering, mathematics, pharmacology and analytical chemistry. Chemistry is also taken by many business, accountancy and law applicants as it shows you can cope with difficult concepts. Chemistry can also complement a number of arts subjects.
