Ever wondered how aspirin was discovered? Want to understand how the ozone hole can be repaired? How do modern analytical techniques detect drug cheats? AS/A2 Chemistry can give you the skills and understanding to answer these questions and more. Chemistry has hugely impacted how we live, and chemical ideas affect your everyday life and dictate decisions about the way we live. This course explores how chemistry impacts us by investigating contemporary areas of chemistry such as, climate change, green chemistry, pharmaceuticals and chemical research, whilst still exploring the ‘traditional’ aspects of physical, inorganic and organic chemistry. Understand and gain a deeper insight into fundamental natural processes and begin to see and enjoy the world around us in a whole new way. Cultivate your knowledge of ourselves and gain insight into how we fit into all material and living things in the Universe. Develop problem solving and critical thinking skills through linking theory to experimental observations. Appreciate the huge impact of chemistry on society.
