Course summary

A levels in Mathematics and Further Mathematics would equally well prepare you for University courses including Computer Sciences, Earth Sciences and Social Sciences, Economics, Management Studies, Medicine, Dentistry, Optometry as well as many others but equally the skills developed are prized in both Higher Education and the workplace alike. Mathematics has two disciplines: Pure and Applied – Pure Mathematics is the abstract science of number, quantity, algebra and space. When these concepts are used in Applied Mathematics they enable understanding of complex situations in fields such as statistics, physics and engineering.
