GCSE Chemistry
GCSE Chemistry studies the composition, properties and reactions of matter, particularly at the levels of atoms and molecules. It is an ideal preparation for A-Level Chemistry or a Level 3 Science course. It is often studied in combination with GCSE Biology and GCSE Physics. This course is for school leavers aged 16-18 and must be studied as part of the full time GCSE Retake programme.
