Mathematics

Course summary

Mathematics is everywhere from the patterns on a butterfly’s wings to the trajectory of a rugby conversion. Mathematics helps us make sense of these patterns and obtain greater structure and predictability in life. Mathematics helps us price things, build websites, create graphics and design skyscrapers. A Level mathematics develops key employability skills such as problem-solving, logical reasoning, communication and resilience; it is a vital qualification for numerous high paid jobs that play an important role in the British economy. In terms of future prospects and university entrance, this may well be the most valuable of all the A Levels you can study. Mathematics at A Level builds on work encountered at GCSE, but also involves many new ideas. If you enjoy mathematics, have a strong work ethic and relish the challenge of problem solving, then this is the course for you.
