Why study Mathematics?
Do you enjoy solving puzzles? If so, mathematics is the subject for you. At its core, the subject is about patterns, structure and applications of this in the real world. A-Level mathematics aims to further develop your logical-thinking and problem-solving skills, extending and deepening your understanding of mathematics. Within the course you will have opportunities to explore the relationship between number sets, uncover the beauty of calculus and its applications, appreciate the links between geometric and algebraic dependencies as well as studying applications of mathematics in mechanics and statistics.
What can I do with A-Level Maths after Sixth Form?
Mathematics sets strong foundations for a variety of related degrees. The subject has clear links with courses such as chemistry, physics, economics or even biology and psychology among many others. It is the single most required A Level subject for entry to degree courses so taking mathematics keeps many future options open to you. Students with qualifications in Advanced Level Mathematics find the skills and knowledge gained from the course useful when pursuing careers in areas such as medicine, engineering, veterinary science, finance, accounting, computing, science, law and marketing to name a few. Your future choices and potential careers are more open and often more lucrative with A Level Mathematics.
