Mathematics

Course summary

The course is divided into two distinct areas, the first of these being the compulsory pure mathematics component and the second being the applied mathematics component. The pure components allow you to study in-depth algebraic techniques and related ideas that support the use of maths to model real-world situations. The applied components, including mechanics and statistics, give you the chance to put your pure mathematical skills into action. Maths is an essential prerequisite for several degree courses including Computer Science, Economics, Engineering and Mathematics. If you are considering a course at a university that contains any element of mathematics, it is strongly advised that you consider taking Maths at A Level.
