What skills will I gain?
|
AQA Chemistry, in line with Biology and Physics, has a heavy approach to building knowledge throughout topics and carrying out experiments with development of strong practical skills and enhanced understanding of both theoretical and practical chemistry.This course builds upon concepts, mathematical, literacy and investigations skills developed at GCSE and it is particularly suitable for students who have the skills and knowledge associated with the triple science, or Chemistry GCSE.A Level chemistry is considered the central science, combining biology, physics and mathematics to explain the physical universe. If you want to be part of advancing humanity trough environmental science, medicine or explaining physical phenomena, then A Level chemistry is your stepping stone towards those paths. |
