What the college says

Mathematics is a very popular subject choice in the Sixth Form. It is a challenging subject, which offers a great deal of enjoyment and satisfaction. Students learn to extend their own thinking within a logical framework and they develop persistence and resilience, as harder problems often require several attempts before a way in is identified. Specifically, students acquire the confidence to deal with information given in algebraic, numerical or graphical form and to produce written work, which is logical and concise. Many universities require students to have a good grade in A Level Mathematics as an entry requirement for courses such as Economics, Engineering, Mathematics and Science.

What you need to get on

Minimum of a grade 7 in GCSE Mathematics. Some students who achieve a very strong 6 may qualify, although these students will be reviewed on an individual basis. All students who apply to study an A Level in Mathematics need to have a very strong grasp of algebraic concepts taught at GCSE

How you are assessed
