What the college says

Mathematics plays a pivotal role in explaining the structure of the universe as well as more everyday matters such as financial forecasts and medical developments. Mathematicians are valued for their ability to think analytically and with rigour. A Level Mathematics builds upon skills developed at GCSE, though generally in a more theoretical manner. The course consists of 2 thirds “Pure Mathematics” (including the development of algebra and trigonometry) and one third “Applied Mathematics” (split evenly between Mechanics and Statistics).
