A Level Chemistry builds on ideas studied at GCSE but goes much further, revealing some surprising and interesting simplifications taught at GCSE. A challenging yet very rewarding subject, it includes a great deal of practical work which develops a range of useful skills that can be applied well outside the subject discipline. As a result, it is a respected and useful qualification for higher education and employment in a variety of areas.
