Course summary

Mathematics is a highly enjoyable and challenging subject. It is intellectually demanding, logical and rigorous, and will develop your ability to problem-solve. Through studying Mathematics in the Sixth Form, you will expand your range of mathematical techniques, learn why methods work, prove results, and forge links between concepts. The applied side of the course is an opportunity to understand how Mathematics is used in real-world situations. As well as the careers that directly use the mathematics taught at A-level (these include the fields of Large Data, Science, Computing, and Economics), the skills gained through studying Mathematics are highly transferable and well regarded. Many jobs involve some form of data analysis and an ability to calculate and interpret statistics confidently and accurately is vital. In addition, numerical fluency, logical thinking, and systematic approaches to problems can be used in almost any field.

Entry requirements

The minimum required grades for each of their preferred A-level subjects At least a grade 5 in GCSE Mathematics At least a grade 5 in GCSE English Language A minimum overall points score from their entire set of GCSEs, as follows: 55 points if she is taking 10 or more GCSEs; 50 points if she is taking 9 GCSEs; 45 points if she is taking 8 GCSEs

How you'll be assessed

The courses taught at Queen's are A-level Mathematics and A-level Further Mathematics. A-level Mathematics consists of Pure Mathematics, which looks at algebraic methods, calculus, geometry, and trigonometry – the foundations of the subject, Statistics which focuses on analysing data and probability, and Mechanics which models physical systems. Students who study Further Mathematics will explore more Pure Mathematics topics such as complex numbers, hyperbolic functions, and matrices. In addition, they will take two optional modules from a choice of Further Pure Mathematics, Further Statistics, Further Mechanics, or Decision Mathematics which is the study of algorithms. Both A-levels are assessed purely through examinations; two Pure Mathematics examinations and one Applied paper (A-level), or two Pure Mathematics examinations and two options papers (Further Mathematics A-level).
