Chemistry is in everything you taste, smell, touch and see and as our world undergoes rapid changes, we need chemists more than ever. It will help us in the race for new antibiotics, find ways to conserve coral reefs and manufacture environmentally-friendly alternatives to current plastics.
There are three core strands to A-level Chemistry course. Physical chemistry explores the science behind chemical reactions and applies them to the real world, reducing the acidification of our oceans, for example. Inorganic chemistry applies the properties of compounds to industrial processes, such as finding more sustainable batteries to combat the skyrocketing demand from mobile phones and electric vehicles. Organic chemistry looks at the carbon-based molecules of life and applying knowledge to produce more complex molecules such as pharmaceuticals to improve human health.
Studying A-level Chemistry with us gives you the unique opportunity to experience chemistry applications in action in our Food Science and Innovation suite, featuring analytical equipment used in the dietetic and nutrition industries. You will explore chemistry beyond the syllabus, with full access to our university library, satisfying your intellectual curiosity and making your applications to universities, apprenticeships and employment more competitive. To help students achieve their potential, we also provide one-to-one tutorials from dedicated learning and careers teams.
