Chemistry 9701
About Course
Cambridge International AS & A Level Chemistry (9701) is designed for learners who wish to develop a strong understanding of chemical principles, practical techniques, and scientific reasoning. The course is suitable for students progressing from IGCSE or equivalent qualifications and provides a rigorous academic foundation for further study in chemistry and related disciplines.
The syllabus balances theoretical knowledge with experimental and analytical skills. Learners explore the structure of matter, chemical reactions, energetics, kinetics, and equilibrium, while developing competence in handling data, planning investigations, and evaluating experimental evidence.
Learning progresses from fundamental AS Level concepts that establish core chemical understanding to more advanced A Level topics that require deeper analysis, integration of ideas, and application in unfamiliar contexts. Practical work is embedded throughout the course and supports the development of confident, independent scientific thinking.
Assessment focuses on knowledge, understanding, and practical skills through a combination of structured questions, multiple-choice testing, and practical or practical-skills-based papers. This approach prepares learners effectively for higher education pathways and scientifically demanding courses.
