Yes, Chemistry is required by almost all UK medical schools alongside Biology. It is also essential for pharmacy, veterinary science, dentistry, and biochemistry programmes.
The syllabus covers physical chemistry (energetics, kinetics, equilibria), inorganic chemistry (periodicity, transition metals), and organic chemistry (reaction mechanisms, synthesis). It builds progressively over two years.
Chemistry involves calculations, but the mathematics is more accessible than in Physics or Maths A-Level. Strong IGCSE Maths skills are sufficient, though A-Level Maths helps with the more quantitative aspects.
Students develop practical skills through guided experiments, virtual chemistry labs, and detailed analysis of experimental data. Our approach meets the Cambridge practical assessment requirements.
Assessment includes written papers covering all areas of the syllabus plus a practical skills component. Papers feature structured questions, calculations, and the application of chemistry to unfamiliar contexts.
