The Edexcel A-Level chemistry course is designed to encourage candidates to develop enthusiasm for Chemistry, whilst learning and improving practical skills which can be backed up with scientific understanding and application. Chemistry is the study of materials, their reactions and the laws that govern them. This course has been developed for students who wish to continue with a study of chemistry after GCSE. This A-Level will prepare students to progress into further education, to follow courses in chemistry, one of the other sciences or related subjects, or to enter employment where a knowledge of chemistry would be useful. Chemistry is essential for studying medicine and veterinary science as well as chemistry courses. It is highly recommended for biological sciences.
