What the college says

Not only does Mathematics underlie every process and pattern that occurs in the world around us, but having a good understanding of it helps enormously in everyday life. Mathematics is one of the most general and fundamental subjects you can study at AS and A2 level as it will give you an excellent grounding for any subject and is itself a prerequisite for many studies. As a degree subject in its own right it offers excellent employment prospects, not just in the traditional areas of banking, finance, IT, computing or accountancy. You will learn to think logically, to ask questions, and to carry out rigorous investigations to answer them. As well as learning problem-solving and data-handling skills, maths is the language of most of the lab sciences and many of the quantitative parts of social sciences. You will need maths to study a wide range of subjects from engineering to economics, medicine to archaeology.

What you need to get on

A grade 7 on the new 9-1 scale is preferred for A-level Mathematics although a grade 6 may be considered in exceptional circumstances and strength in algebra is essential. Hard work, determination and a pro-active approach are essential at the start of any A-level Mathematics course, and you will need to be prepared to learn new facts thoroughly and practice new techniques regularly. There is plenty of help, support and encouragement from your Maths teachers and from other Maths students at the weekly drop-in sessions.

How you are assessed

Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
