What the college says

Mathematics A Level continues to develop the topics studied at GCSE mathematics, and introduces methods and techniques used in many subjects at university level and beyond. The mathematics course covers a range of pure and applied mathematics, including mechanics and statistics. Mechanics at A Level is not essential for A Level Physics but could be advantageous, especially if you are considering university courses such as Physics or Engineering. Statistics is increasingly important in several fields such as biology, geography, business, economics and marketing. Mathematics is also an interesting subject to study for its own sake. The skills developed through studying mathematics to a higher level are highly sought after by employers, which is why those who study mathematics earn more throughout their working lives.
