Chemistry
Physical, organic and inorganic chemistry at degree level, with mechanisms explained rather than memorised.
What you'll learn
- Reason with thermodynamics and kinetics
- Draw and explain organic mechanisms
- Apply spectroscopy to structure determination
- Work with equilibria and acid-base theory
- Understand transition metal chemistry
- Write up practical work to standard
What the course covers
6 modules · 24 topics, taught in live sessions with your tutor
- Enthalpy and Hess's law
- Entropy
- Gibbs free energy
- Spontaneity and equilibrium
Requirements
- Secondary chemistry and basic calculus
- A scientific calculator and data book
- Your lecture notes or problem sets
Description
College chemistry asks why a reaction goes the way it does. This course focuses on mechanism and thermodynamic reasoning, so unfamiliar reactions become predictable rather than new facts to learn.
We work your own problem sets and past papers wherever possible.
Who this course is for
- University students needing support alongside lectures
- Students on medicine or engineering courses needing chemistry
- Learners returning to study
