What the college says

Mathematics is about the logical study of pattern in shape and number. In a complex world, professionals, managers, researchers etc. need to have analytical minds to solve difficult problems. Mathematics is the tool that allows this. Competence in mathematics is highly regarded and valued in industry and commerce. Graduates in all subjects average 10% extra pay within 5 years if they have A level mathematics, in comparison with those who do not. There is no coursework element in the A2 mathematics course. There are also no specific synoptic papers in mathematics. Mathematics is the most popular A Level subject in the UK (2021), and no wonder: It offers a stimulating and challenging course, developing key employability skills such as problem-solving, logical reasoning, communication and resilience. Students will build on the skills and knowledge gained from Mathematics GCSE, increasing their understanding of mathematical techniques and their applications. Mathematics provides excellent preparation for a wide range of university courses and careers, as well as supporting the study of other A-Levels, especially those in the Sciences and Social Sciences.
