What the college says
There are three good reasons why you should consider studying A Level Mathematics: • It gives you a chance to understand what Mathematics is really about. It is most definitely not about getting 'the answer' – and in many ways has less to do with numbers than you might think. Instead it is about applying your knowledge to solve problems. Put more simply it is about learning to think. • Mathematics is the most cited facilitating course for entry to degree level courses and has consequently become the most popular A Level subject over the past two years. • Mathematics is the only A Level subject where there is a proven link to improved income chances in later life. Students who pass A Level Mathematics earn on average 10% more in later life than those that do not.
