This course builds on the knowledge and skills that you acquired during your GCSE. It will increase your understanding of familiar ideas and introduce you to new concepts and techniques. You will apply mathematical ideas in the context of statistics and mechanics. You will study a combination of pure and applied mathematics. There are no optional units, everyone studies the same material. About two-thirds of the course is pure mathematics, one-sixth statistics and one-sixth mechanics. Mechanics builds on Newtonian ideas of motion and forces and is strongly linked to physics. Statistics allows us to make sense of the world around us through data analysis. The key theme is a continued study of algebra and graphs.
• You should have at least a grade 7 in GCSE maths. • The general college entry requirements for A levels also apply - you need mostly 5s or higher across your GCSEs and ideally a 4 at GCSE English language.
At the end of the second year, you sit three 2 hour exams that assess all the content covered during the two years of study. Two of the papers cover Pure Maths, and the third paper covers Applied (Mechanics and Statistics).
