Several of the topics taught throughout this course may be developed further at the university level, meaning that the A-level course provides excellent preparation for those pupils who wish to study a maths-based subject at university. The study of maths pairs incredibly well with sciences at A level meaning those with a keen interest in the latter may wish to also study maths. Although people may think the subject to be niche and limited to those wishing to pursue careers solely within the mathematics/scientific industry, it will equip students with widely transferrable skills thus opening countless doors both in higher education and future careers. Jobs within medicine, scientific research, and even the planning or creation of buildings require people with a strong mathematical skill and good confidence in their mathematical ability. The course provides pupils with the opportunity to further develop their knowledge and understanding of many of the topics taught at Key stages 3 and 4, as well as introducing several new topics that are exclusive to Key Stage 5. Students wishing to undertake degrees in mathematics or related fields will greatly benefit from taking this course.
Pass in English, 5 or more grades at 5+ (this can include English and maths), grade 6 or higher in maths.
Students are assessed entirely through externally assessed examinations at the end of the course by 3 different examinations. Those who have studied A Level Maths will be required to sit 2 x Pure Mathematics examinations which, in total, will equate to 67% of their final grade. The strands; Statistics and Mechanics are combined to make up the remaining 33% gained through another examination. Each exam will last for 2 hours.
