Are you keen to learn more about what we and our world are made of, how they fit together, and how we can improve things, develop new materials for the future, help find new cures and push the boundaries of technology further? Do you enjoy analysing and solving problems? Do you want a rewarding and challenging career?
Then chemistry is right for you!
Chemistry happens all around us, it governs who we are. As you understand it more, you can appreciate how much every bit of our lives depends on simple chemical processes.
By taking chemistry you develop some very useful skills that can be applied well outside of the subject discipline; these include problem solving, numeracy, practical skills as well as developing a broad scientific background. As a result it’s a highly respected and useful qualification for higher education and employment in a wide range of areas.
Please note – when applying for any A level on our website, this submits your application for the full A level programme. You only need to apply for one subject – your other subject choices will be discussed at interview.
