Chemistry - AS/A2

Just a vast collection of chemical compounds and a continuing chain of chemical reactions, that's how Einstein described us, human beings. Chemistry is the study of the matter that
everything and everybody is made of. We study how this matter behaves, how it interacts and how it changes. What future careers are open to chemists? The answer is virtually limitless.
A Level Chemistry is essential in medicine, pharmacy, veterinary science as well as chemical engineering, chemical research and biochemical fields.

You will find chemistry graduates working in finance, politics and law. The study of chemistry will give you the knowledge to allow you to see and understand the world in a unique and special way. Students need to have achieved a grade B in both core Science and Additional Science.
