Mathematics

Entry Requirements

The basic entry requirement onto most courses is a minimum of a grade 6 at GCSE in an appropriate subject, however those students who embark on A Level studies with a grade 7 or above are likely to find the transition much easier. In some cases there may be further restrictions e.g. a minimum of a grade 6 in Maths to do Physics. Please see the following individual subject pages for further details. Students must also have achieved at least a grade 4 in both Maths and either English Language or Literature to qualify for entry into the Sixth Form. To start the Mathematics course you should be expecting to achieve at least a grade 7 in Mathematics at GCSE. For Further Maths, a minimum of grade 8 is essential, and ideally, you will have studied an extra qualification such as the Additional Mathematics FSMQ, Further Mathematics GCSE or similar. If your GCSE grade is an 8, we would require an extra qualification to ensure students have enough experience of success of high-level topics.
