A level Mathematics focuses on three main areas: Pure mathematics which constitutes approximately two thirds of the course, including proof, algebra, functions, graphs, trigonometry, and calculus. Statistics which constitutes about 1/6 of the course. In statistics you will study data collection & interpretation, probability and hypothesis testing. Mechanics which constitutes about 1/6 of the course. In mechanics you will study modelling, kinematics, forces and Newton’s laws of motion. After studying Mathematics A level you will have the skills to enter many different sectors. You will have the analytic skills to enter sectors such as finance, technology or engineering, particularly if you are studying it alongside relevant subjects. However, the skills you will gain from Mathematics are recognised and respected across all sectors, and students equally go into sectors such as media, law or advertising. Mathematics A level is extremely well respected by universities. It will be a prerequisite for degrees such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering and computer science. However, it will also be extremely useful preparation for degrees in other science subjects such as biology, psychology and Medici
You must achieve at grade 6 or above in Maths at GCSE to do this course.
