Course summary

A level mathematics is generally regarded as a hard subject to study and a good solid knowledge and understanding of mathematics at GCSE level is essential. Studying mathematics at A-level requires a lot of additional work from the student. Mathematics is fundamentally problem solving and representing systems and models in different ways. It is also communication and mathematical modelling.
