Course summary

Mathematics at A Level is a facilitating subject which is commonly required or preferred by universities to get on to a range of degree courses. By taking Mathematics at A Level you will increase the range of options open to you at university. The reason why so many employers highly value mathematics qualifications is mathematics students become better at thinking logically and analytically. Through solving problems, you develop resilience and can think creatively and strategically. The writing of structured solutions, proof and justification of results helps you to formulate reasoned arguments. You will have excellent numeracy skills and the ability to process and interpret data. The Courses: Mathematics And Further Mathematics Further Mathematics This is offered for exceptionally talented mathematicians, either as an AS or as a full A Level. The AS Level (8FM0, route E) is offered as a one-year course, taken in parallel with the A Level Mathematics course. The full A Level (9FM0) is best suited to consecutive study, ie accelerated A Level Mathematics (taken at the end of year 12), followed by A Level Further Mathematics in year 13. Mathematics 9MAO and Further Mathematics 9FMO together take up two of the usual three option choices; 8FMO is offered in addition to the usual three A Level option choices, of which one would be 9MAO.
