What the college says

Mathematics becomes increasingly challenging at A level, but also more enjoyable and rewarding. Obtaining a Maths A level shows that you are a hard-working, self-motivated and intelligent person. You may not use algebra or probability in your job every day, but the transferable skills of analysis, logic and problem solving will always be valuable. Some degree subjects, like physics and engineering, ask for a maths A level as part of the entry requirements. Others, such as medicine and architecture, don’t make it a necessity, but they still have a fair amount of mathematical content, so if you go in with a maths A-level, you’ll have a much easier time than those who don’t. Research has shown that graduates with A Level Maths earn, on average, at least 10% more than those without, regardless of the subject of their degree. If you wish to study Maths at AS or A level you will need to have studied the Higher GCSE course and achieved a grade 7 or higher. An initial assessment will take place (school wide policy) approximately 3 weeks into the course. This helps assess course suitability and more importantly helps us provide appropriate and early intervention and support. A genuine interest in, and enjoyment of, mathematics is considered essential.
