What the college says

This course is taken as an additional 4th A Level in addition to A level Maths. This course will further develop knowledge and skills to help model and solve complex mathematical situations. Concepts from the Mathematics A Level will be developed with new and exciting areas of Mathematics introduced, such as matrices and complex numbers. The course content is half Pure Mathematics (two examinations), one-quarter Statistics (one examination) and one-quarter Mechanics (one examination). Alongside the rigorous, stimulating and challenging course we deliver, we offer students the opportunity to deepen their interest, understanding and skills beyond A Level. Enrichment trips to universities are organised where students attend inspirational lectures and develop problem-solving skills, giving them an insight into Mathematics based university courses. When it comes to applying to do a Mathematics degree, it would seem that the main thing Mathematics departments at University are interested in is the Maths you have done, so the more you do the better! At Highcliffe we offer timetabled lessons throughout Year 12 and 13 that help prepare students for the STEP, and other entry examination papers. These lessons also prepare students for any mathematical problem solving questions that could come up during interview. The summary of components is as follows: • Two Further Pure Mathematics Units • One statistics Unit • One mechanics Unit
