What will I study?
OCR A Level Chemistry is split into six modules: practical skills in chemistry, foundations in chemistry, periodic table and energy, core organic chemistry, physical chemistry and transition elements, and organic chemistry and analysis.
These modules give you a deeper understanding of concepts established at GCSE level, and help develop the reasoning skills needed to explain unfamiliar phenomena in chemistry. You will also master a range of practical skills, through a variety of experiments, including the chemical analysis of unknown compounds, building and testing cells, and synthesising the drug aspirin.
