Mathematics lies at the heart of many aspects of everyday ife, and the problem-solving and number-crunching skills of mathematicians are consequently highly prized. Whether you find maths compelling for its symmetry and beauty or want to develop skills for your future career, you will find that maths unlocks doors for you. On our A level Mathematics course you will explore a huge range of topics including coordinated geometry, differentiation, integration, sequences and series, trigonometry, exponentials and logarithms, complex numbers, calculus, Newton’s law of motion, projectiles, kinematics, moments of inertia and mathematical modelling. Mathematics A level is highly regarded by universities and employers, and is particularly relevant for careers requiring a high level of numeracy.

How will I be assessed?

Progress is regularly assessed by tests, all homework is marked to A level marking criteria, and feedback for improvement is provided.

What will I learn?

You will extend the range of mathematical techniques acquired during GCSE studies.

What are my career opportunities?

Mathematics A level is highly regarded by employers, and is particularly relevant for careers that require a high level of numeracy, such as accountancy, business, economics, banking, statistics, computing, engineering, architecture, surveying or scientific research.

Further Study?

Higher Education and then any career requiring a high degree of numeracy.

Are there any extra costs?

A scientific calculator is needed for all modules except C1.
