Entry requirements

Studying mathematics develops powers of abstract thought and understanding of pattern and sequence. Building on the work of the past, mathematicians now explore practical applications in modern life. Due to the high algebra content it is essential to have a minimum of a high GCSE level 6/7 and preferably a level 7 to progress to AS and A Level Mathematics.
