What You’ll Study: Chemistry Course Overview
At Brampton, students follow the OCR GCE Chemistry A specification, which is known for its clear structure, real-world relevance, and strong university recognition. The course is designed to be co-teachable with the AS-Level Chemistry A, allowing for flexible entry routes.
Modules Covered:
● Module 1: Development of Practical Skills in Chemistry
● Module 2: Quantitative chemistry, atomic structure and bonding
● Module 3: Periodic Table and Energy
● Module 4: Core Organic Chemistry
● Module 5: Physical Chemistry and Transition Elements
● Module 6: Organic Chemistry and Analysis
Modules 1 – 4 are studied in the first year, with 5 and 6 in year two. Practical skills are taught and developed over the course of the two years. All six modules are examined in three papers (2 x 2hr15 and 1 x 1hr30) at the end of the academic year.
The One Year A-level resit Course is available for students wishing to improve their A-level grade, and in extenuating circumstances, more mature students capable of coping with a fast-track A-level.
