Course summary

To study Mathematics is to study the language of our Universe. Without the Mathematical laws that bind us together our Universe and our existence within it would not be possible. The Greek Mathematician Euclid observed: ‘The Laws of Nature are but the Mathematical thoughts of God.’ Do you have what it takes to begin to understand? A Levels in Mathematics and Further Mathematics are hugely versatile qualifications which are highly respected by employers and Higher Education institutions. Careers for those with good Mathematics skills and qualifications are not only well paid, but are also often interesting and rewarding. There is a huge demand from employers, particularly in science, engineering, business and manufacturing, for students with the higher order skills to think logically, analytically and critically. An A Level in Mathematics demonstrates an aptitude in such skills. Through the solving of complex problems, you will develop resilience and an ability to think creatively and strategically.
