Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure and properties of materials and of the interactions between them and with energy. It is divided into inorganic, organic and physical Chemistry and will include applications in the environment. Successful students of Chemistry will have at least GCSE grade A in Additional Science or grade B in Chemistry, will be able and willing to work hard throughout the course and will have an aptitude and interest in the subject. A good grade in Mathematics is also an advantage. They will probably study other Sciences, and/or Mathematics, but Chemistry is an excellent addition to any A Level package. The study of Chemistry is the ideal method for improving thinking skills. The abstract nature of the concepts requires systematic and analytical thought. An ability to organise ideas logically, make connections between diverse areas of knowledge and extrapolate from known information, to show how it may apply to novel situations, is something chemists and chemistry students are required to do daily. Problem solving is also a part of the course and pupils who respond well to the techniques taught in this subject will be able to apply these newly honed skills effectively to all of their academic subjects, as well as in the wider world.
