Course summary

Studying Mathematics not only takes you deeper into mathematical concepts and extends your knowledge of mathematics but also teaches you how to analyse and solve problems, reason logically, critically analyse and communicate concisely. All these skills are highly sought after by universities and employers. A shortage of highly numerate candidates in the job market means employers also pay a premium for the problem solving and number crunching skills of A Level mathematicians. You may be surprised by which careers value A Level Mathematics highly.
