The GCSE Chemistry course is designed for students who either don’t currently hold a GCSE in Chemistry at a grade 4 or above (or equivalent), or who are looking to improve their Chemistry skills for various purposes. It’s valuable because it helps you to build a foundational understanding of how the world works, helps you develop essential analytical and problem-solving skills, and opens doors for you to a wide range of future career paths.
You will develop scientific inquiry skills by gathering evidence and drawing conclusions; critical thinking skills by analysing data and evaluating arguments; and communication skills, both orally and in writing.
