CHEMISTRY A Level
For prestigious careers like medicine, veterinary science and pharmacy, knowledge of chemistry is essential. This stimulating, practical A Level builds on topics you will have covered at GCSE, and then takes you into new territories such as spectroscopy and the transition metals.
Units in Year 1 cover atomic structure and bonding, the periodic table, rates of reaction (and others) in depth. Around a third of the qualification looks at organic (carbon based) chemistry where you will investigate the reactions of different organic families such as alkenes and alcohols.
Our students successfully go on to Oxford and Cambridge and other top universities
The second year units cover aromatic compounds and amines, identifying mechanisms for chemical reactions and learning how to conduct characteristic tests for carbonyl compounds. You’ll find there is also more application of mathematical formulae in the second year, such as using logarithmic functions to determine pH.
CLASSICAL CIVILISATION A Level
This A Level will enrich your passion for the classics and enhance your Higher Education and employment opportunities. Magnificent ancient civilisations with their ruined monuments, sculptures, wall paintings and literature provide a realm of study that is steeped in interesting historical facts.
Inspiring and rich in historical facts, this course provides an engaging insight into Classical Civilisations
In this wide-ranging course, you’ll learn about the changing societies and cultures of ancient Rome and Greece and the set texts take you deep into our ancient world, its literature, its history and its civilisation. The complex cultures that existed, with their predecessors and successors around the Mediterranean Sea, are also covered and you’ll investigate how classical civilisations expanded to become powerful empires and gave birth to cultures of art, science and philosophy on which much of the Western world has been built.
Fact file:
Progression Many of our students go on to university (including Oxford and Cambridge). A Level Chemistry is highly regarded and leads into a huge range of science- based degree courses from medicine to biochemistry and chemical engineering. It is also extremely useful if you want to study other sciences, especially Biology and Physics.
