St Mary’s College CHEMISTRY (AQA) Pre-course reading and guidance A Level Chemistry WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE CHEMISTRY? › Chemistry will give you the opportunity to work in many areas including dentistry, veterinary science and medicine. The course is delivered by members of staff that have a great deal of expertise in delivering the subject. Group sizes are normally a maximum of twenty five pupils. › Pick up a can of soft drink and you’ll find chemistry everywhere, from the metal can you’re holding, to the paint used to cover it and the liquid inside. Just breathe in and out and you’re performing a chemical reaction. Chemistry is sometimes known as the "central science" because it helps to connect physical sciences, like maths and physics, with applied sciences, like biology, medicine and engineering. WHAT IS THE COURSE STRUCTURE LIKE? › The course is a two year course. It consists of three exams. Papers 1 and 2 are worth 35% of the qualification with Paper 3 being worth 30%. There is no coursework. World class thinking. World class achieving.
