Course description

The Cambridge Immerse Chemistry course is both challenging and engaging, with students learning in small groups to ensure that each student’s needs are addressed. In addition to covering material that is studied at A-level and IB-level, students are also taught advanced university-level topics in a way that is approachable and easy to understand.

In addition to consolidating students’ existing understanding of Chemistry, the course introduces students to advanced topics and debates that will not only spur intellectual curiosity, but will also assist in preparing to study the discipline at university level.
