Chemistry<br />
Further information<br />
Pupils wishing to study Chemistry should have at<br />
least grade A in Additional Science or grade A in<br />
Chemistry and grade B in Mathematics at GCSE.<br />
Whilst it is possible to be successful at AS level with<br />
lower GCSE grades, such pupils need to be aware<br />
that Chemistry is a demanding subject at AS level,<br />
and must discuss their options with the Head of<br />
Department prior to registration. Chemistry is a<br />
popular subject and works well with a number of<br />
combinations, from the obvious Sciences and<br />
Mathematics, to Languages and Music.<br />
As well as becoming scientists, engineers and<br />
doctors, pupils with Chemistry often move into areas<br />
of business management, law and finance, where a<br />
logical, enquiring mind are highly desirable assets.<br />
The specification number is: 2420<br />

Chemistry A level is almost essential for entry into<br />
medicine, veterinary science, dentistry, chemical<br />
engineering as well as most medical and biological<br />
sciences. An AS or an A level qualification in<br />
Chemistry provides a sound training in scientific<br />
methodology and enquiry, which is highly regarded<br />
in Higher Education and in the wider world of<br />
employment.<br />
