The ability to think rationally and to process data clearly and accurately are highly valued by employers and there is a rapidly increasing demand for higher level mathematics skills in the modern economy. A successful candidate may look to the future with a wide range of options. Almost all areas of physical or applied sciences will be accessible to mathematical students in the world of work or if they wished to proceed to Higher Education. The following are some of the professions one could pursue: • Teaching (mathematics education). • The financial sector (accountancy, banking, financial risk assessor). • Engineering (mechanical, electrical, electronic). • IT (computer programming, system administration) Paper 1: Pure Mathematics Paper 2: Pure Mathematics Paper 3: Statistics and Mechanics
To be accepted on these courses a student should have at least 5 GCSEs at grades 9 - 4 (or equivalent). There is a very high algebraic content within this course and students will need the solid foundation of at least a grade 6 in GCSE Mathematics to be able to become successful in this course.
Assessment is by externally assessed examination. There is no coursework content for this qualification.
