Course summary

Mathematics is one of the oldest subjects studied by mankind, yet there are more mathematicians alive today than in the rest of history put together. It is a challenging, beautiful and practical subject, which plays an essential part in our society. You may be considering a career for which Mathematics is needed or for which it may be useful. The good news is that even if you do not know what you wish to do at the moment, Mathematics fits well with both arts and science subjects and is very highly regarded by higher education institutions and employers. At A level, you have the opportunity to explore much more of Mathematics, both in its pure form and as a subject with a wide range of practical applications. We hope that you will come to love Mathematics as a creative discipline full of wonder and excitement, an activity that is intrinsically rewarding. Those studying Mathematics will study Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics including Statistics and Mechanics. The new A level in Mathematics is a linear course with no optional modules.

Entry requirements

The step up from GCSE to A level Mathematics can be daunting. In order to access the A level material, it is important to work to a minimum IGCSE/GCSE Grade 7 for Mathematics. In particular, fluency with (and enjoyment of) the harder GCSE level Algebra is important.
