An A level in mathematics builds from GCSE mathematics and introduces calculus and its applications. It emphasises how mathematical ideas are interconnected and how mathematics can be applied to model situations using algebra and other representations, to help make sense of data, to understand the physical world and to solve problems in a variety of contexts, including social sciences and business. It prepares students for further study and employment in a wide range of disciplines involving the use of mathematics.
A minimum of five GCSE passes grade 5 or above including English plus grade 6 in GCSE Maths. Please note: Maths and physics are key underpinning subjects for engineering degree courses, and are highly regarded by both hi-tech employers and universities. If you are considering a career in engineering we highly recommend you take A level Physics alongside Maths.
