Mathematics

Course summary

A difficult subject and commands considerable prestige amongst prospective employers as well as universities. It can help with the study of other subjects (notably Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Geography) but is rewarding and enjoyable in its own right and is a good choice with virtually any combination of subjects taken at A level. It requires consistent hard work, considerable commitment and a high level of algebraic and numerical skills. Homework of at least three hours per week will be expected. Students need a high level of persistence in solving problems.
