Chemistry

The Chemistry Department has chosen the OCR examination board specification for the College's two-year A-level Chemistry programme starting in September 2010. Due to its broad coverage of important and current issues this specification is suitable for students who wish to pursue medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, engineering as well as other science-related disciplines at university level.

The one year A-level Chemistry programme starting in September 2010 will offer the Edexcel examination board specification.

All students in the chemistry department are currently being taught by Cecil Chan, Neil Townson and Rehana Azim. Our course is structured by small group teaching, tutorials for consolidation/exam training and laboratory work to put theory into practice. The department also provides extra English support as well as one to one tuition. Students find the small groups, particularly in laboratory work, especially useful and the staff are always happy to talk to students on a one-one basis.

Students are always encouraged to take a broader interest in the subject by reading and taking part in trips and competitions. Last year students were successful in obtaining Gold, Silver and Bronze medals in the RSC Chemistry Olympiad competition.
