We follow the Edexcel linear course which involves pure and applied maths with a focus on statistics and mechanics. For a student who has done well in iGCSE Maths, an A Level in Maths will be viewed by any university as one of the most rigorous and analytical preparations for a degree. Maths is a qualification in thinking rather than a particular skill, although it is a prerequisite course for degrees such as Engineering and many science-based courses. 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 are able to think creatively and strategically. The writing of structured solutions, proof and justification of results help you to formulate reasoned arguments. And importantly you will have excellent numeracy skills and the ability to process and interpret data. Careers for men and women with good mathematics skills and qualifications are not only well paid, but they are also often interesting and rewarding. Maths supports careers in medicine, management and accountancy as well as teaching and research.
