Students will:
Literacy; Numeracy; Problem solving; Self-management; Analytical (laboratory) skills.
Study of Chemistry at Level 3 and University. A wide range of pathways which includes manufacturing and infrastructure, Trades, Primary industries as well as a range of community related careers such as medical and health sciences.
It is highly recommended that you have gained a Merit in Mathematics.
I found that in the medical field almost all pathways required or recommended chemistry to be taken in NCEA. However, it isn’t just that requirement that made me want to take Chemistry but it includes a balanced combination of practical and theory work which is very enjoyable and interesting. Taking chemistry for the last two years has broadened my knowledge very significantly and I would definitely recommend it to anyone even if they weren’t necessarily looking to go down a medical or science path.
