What the college says

We offer a total of 12 mathematics modules, allowing students to gain both a Mathematics and a Further Mathematics A level. The examination board is Edexcel Most students study six modules from the twelve which we offer. Modules offered are from the areas of pure mathematics, statistics and mechanics. Those wishing to take two A levels in mathematics will study all twelve modules. Further Mathematics is normally studied as an extra A level. There is no coursework element to this A level. The mathematics course is a demanding one. Only those who have taken the higher paper at GCSE should consider undertaking it. For Aston students there is an additional indicator: experience has shown that unless a student was in one of the top three sets in Years 10 and 11 he will struggle to achieve a satisfactory A2 level pass - an AS would appear to be a more sensible target.
