Course summary

Students follow the Edexcel Linear Mathematics courses, composed of the following: • Pure Mathematics which develops and extends topics met at GCSE, especially algebra, trigonometry and calculus. • Mechanics which consider problems involving motion (kinematics) or forces (statics) and investigate the relationships between forces and the motion of particles or large bodies (dynamics). • Statistics which includes the study of chance (probability) and the presentation, analysis and interpretation of data. Your mathematics teacher will be happy to expand upon these brief outlines if you need further advice or information. We offer two A Levels in the department: Mathematics and Further Mathematics.

Entry requirements

• General requirement: GCSE grade 6 or above (or Grade B or above) in Mathematics and English Language. • Course requirements: ▪ GCSE grade 7, 8 or 9 (or Grade A or A*) in the subjects to be studied. Maths and Further Maths are considered facilitating subjects as they are amongst some of the most frequently required A Levels for degree courses. Having a Maths A Level on your CV can be a great advantage for your future career and is seen as a valuable qualification in many fields. Some natural ability in the subject is necessary and the entry requirement for studying Mathematics at A Level is a grade 7 at GCSE or IGCSE.
