MATHEMATICS

Course summary

An A-level in maths will impress both prospective employers and university admission tutors. It shows you can think logically, accurately process information, and skilfully manipulate numbers. During the course of your studies you will develop your algebra and trigonometry, learn how to differentiate and integrate in calculus and be introduced to the power of logarithms. You will also study both statistics and mechanics and apply some of the pure mathematics you have learned. Students also get to take part in the nationally recognised UKMT Senior Mathematics Challenge. A Level Maths is so well regarded that academics from the University of Nottingham found that pupils who take maths at A level receive an 11 per cent premium on their salary by the time they are 34 years and that no other A-level subject attracted a wage premium in the same way!
