About this course

This course is ideal for students who have a strong science background at GCSE and are considering a STEM based career. The first year of the course builds on Chemistry at GCSE. You will learn about diverse topics such as the Bohr model of the atom and evidence to support from the patterns in the Periodic Table, to the manufacture and disposal of plastics. The second year looks at many of the Physical Chemistry topics through a more mathematical lens.
