This course is for students who want to continue studying mathematics after GCSE. You'll already be familiar with some of the topics but the A level will give you the chance to study these and some new ones in much greater depth. Maths is a facilitating subject which means it will prepare you for a wide range of degree subjects. It can be a recommended or in fact, a necessary requirement for many mathematical, technical and scientific subjects at university. It's a good combination with most other subjects you can study at A level and will give you a useful set of transferable skills including logical reasoning, problem solving and analytical thinking skills that can lead to many different careers.
A minimum of 5 GCSEs at grade 4 or above including a grade 6 in GCSE Maths.
Assessment is through final examination at the end of the course. There will be 3 exam papers each of 2 hours duration for which a calculator can be used. Exams will comprise short, single-mark questions to multi-step problems.
