We all do Chemistry every moment of every day of our lives! As the study of all the elements and their compounds, Chemistry is both conceptually challenging and requires good factual knowledge.
Chemistry looks at all of the elements in the Periodic Table, both on a molecular and macroscopic level. It is regarded as the ‘central science’ that connects so many other areas together. New breakthroughs in fields such as genetics, biochemistry, medicine, materials, nanotechnology and drug discovery are all driven by Chemistry. Chemistry is about matter. The molecules that are all around us and how they change and interact with each other.
A study of Chemistry helps make so many observable everyday phenomena far less mysterious.
As an A-Level student of Chemistry, you can expect to cover all of the fundamentals that make up the three core areas of Chemistry: Inorganic, Organic and Physical Chemistry. Most importantly, Chemistry is a fascinating and ever-evolving subject; driven constantly both by new experimental discovery and advances made by theoreticians. If you want to fully understand the workings of the world around you then Chemistry is for you.
