What the college says
Mathematics has wide applications in industry, business, finance, science, technology, the social sciences and many other areas. It is highly regarded by employers. A Level Mathematics is often a pre-requisite for university courses (such as Physics, Engineering, Computing, and, of course, Mathematics itself) and is highly desirable for many other courses including Architecture, Medicine, Chemistry and Accountancy. In addition, degrees in Biology, Economics, Geography and Psychology all involve Mathematics or Statistics modules and so these subjects will be much easier for those with A Level Mathematics.
