International A-Level Chemistry
Chemistry plays a role in everyone’s life and touches almost every aspect of our existence in some way. Most of what we use today owes its evolution in some way to the study of Chemistry. It is often referred to as the central science because it joins together physics, mathematics, biology and medicine, in other words, the earth and environmental sciences. In our programme, students will develop their knowledge and understanding of chemistry by applying the learned concepts to a range of different situations, both practical and theoretical, set in a variety of contexts.
