Where Will An A Level In Chemistry Lead Me?

Chemistry is the essential science and as such is recognised as being an essential requirement for medical and veterinary schools and most branches of engineering. Chemists design novel materials for the modern world. An AS or an A Level in Chemistry does not necessarily mean a career in Science. What it does show is an aptitude to work and think in a clear, systematic manner – a quality that many employers in many fields look for.
