What the college says
If you are still not sure how your life will map out after A Levels, that is OK - many people aren't! But if you are wondering why you should choose to study A Level Mathematics, remember that it is a great way to keep your options open. Mathematics is known as a facilitating subject by universities, meaning that it paves the way for a plethora of degree courses. And if you love mathematics but don't want to abandon your love of English or Music or History, there is no need - you can study Mathematics at many universities as a joint honours degree with whatever else takes your fancy. Whatever your future plans, studying A Level Mathematics will stretch your mind and endow you with abilities that stay with you for life. Whether you are interpreting statistics or managing a budget, your mathematical background will help you to think logically, analyse data and express yourself clearly. These are fantastically valuable, transferrable skills which are highly prized by employers across every field, as well as giving you a boost on a personal level. Mathematics is good training for the mind, helping to develop logical thinking and problem-solving skills - the kind of analytical processes that have helped solve problems of all kinds for thousands of years
