Entry requirements

Mathematics is a difficult subject at A Level unless you have some genuine interest in the subject. The nature of the subject alters in a more fundamental way than most other subjects after GCSE and there is a strong correlation between the results obtained by pupils at GCSE and A Level. Consequently, we only accept students for this course with a grade 7 and above.

How you'll be assessed

Assessment for the Mathematics A-level is 100% examination. The assessment is linear, which means all exams will be taken at the end of the course.
