What the college says
The course covers many areas of mathematics and enables the students to acquire knowledge and skills with confidence, satisfaction and enjoyment. This involves studying pure mathematics as a continuation and development of GCSE work, developing skills to model mathematics to real-life situations in Mechanics, Probability and Statistics. The course inherently develops the key transferable skills of solving problems from a variety of starting points. We involve our Sixth Form Mathematics students in extra curricular activities such as the UKMT Senior Mathematics Challenge. Students develop skills in applying knowledge and recognising its significance to other disciplines, solving complex problems by breaking them down into simpler stages, analysing different types of data and developing mathematical reasoning. The course lays the foundation for any further study of mathematics or related subjects in higher education. Possible careers include: Engineering, Banking, Accountancy, Teaching, Public Service, Commerce, Politics, Insurance, Research, Computing, Business.
