A Level You study mathematics because it is fascinating, challenging and elegant and because it provides skills much in demand for a wide range of careers. The core of A-level maths will extend your knowledge of algebra, trigonometry and vectors, and introduce you to exciting concepts of differentiation and integration.
If you enjoyed the challenge of problem solving at GCSE using such mathematical techniques, then you should fi nd the prospect of this course very appealing. In the lower sixth you will encounter new areas of mathematics in decision maths and in the upper sixth you will have options in mechanics or statistics. Maths is an excellent subject to go with almost any other subject. Career opportunities exist in Economics, Medicine, Architecture, Engineering, Scientifi c Research, Accountancy, Education, Business, Local Government, Industry, Psychology, Environmental Studies, Computing, Information and Communication Technology and Management.
Mathematics is unique in that academically strong students with high ability in Maths can go further than one A-level and take extra modules; three modules to give AS Further Maths and six modules for A-level Further Maths. This course is ideal for those students who wish to study Mathematics or Engineering at University.
GCSE
GCSE Mathematics is an important foundation for many of the courses you may take in employment or further education. Most colleges and universities require GCSE Maths as an entry requirement, as do many jobs and careers. You will study the same material as you did at school, with the modular GCSE course splitting the content into manageable sections over 1 year. We follow the AQA Modular course, foundation tier. You will take exams in November, March and in June.
