Course summary

Math's is an international language spoken across the world. It underpins the world around us, helps us to understand it and gives us the ability to improve it. A Level Math's is a stimulating and challenging course. It supports the learning of math's in many other courses and can lead to versatile qualifications afterwards. It is a subject that develops key employability skills such as problem solving, communication and resilience and is a subject which is well-respected by employers and higher education institutions. The A Level mathematics course is divided into three areas: Pure Mathematics, Statistics and Mechanics. The Pure aspect of the course will allow the study of topics such as geometry, calculus and trigonometry to continue at a much deeper level than that studied at GCSE and helps develop algebraic and geometrical reasoning skills. Statistics and Mechanics forms the applied unit of the Mathematics A Level course and involves making sense of real-life situations using mathematical modelling. Mechanics contains the ideas of forces, motion and projectiles and is linked closely to Physics. Statistics examines data and uses analytical methods in order to draw conclusions. Mathematics is a highly respected A Level and supports progression into a wide range of degree courses and careers. This is one of the reasons that it is the most popular A Level taken by sixth-form students. The subject fine- tunes many key skills such as problem-solving, which are important in many key fields. Many University courses have Math's A Level as a prerequisite to their courses where math's is an important aspect of the degree. Math's leads to many areas including Accountancy, Engineering, Economics and fields involving the sciences to name but a few.
