Mathematics

Course summary

Do you need to be convinced to do A Level Maths? Seriously? Aside from the fact that it is the most popular and prestigious of all the A Levels, it is also the one you must have as a prerequisite to study most if not all technical courses; from Actuarial science to veterinary sci-ence and everything in between. To list all the courses at university you can do with an A Level in Maths would need more space than the rest involved. Why do you need A Level Mathematics ? Just look around. Some of civilisation’s most prized and proud achievements are wholly reliant on mathematics. Planes flying seamlessly through the air, high availability of complex medicines, even the computer you are using now: all of these increasingly vital commodities rely on the use and study of numbers. If you are to stop and think for just a few minutes it becomes inescapably clear that mathematics is pretty well inseparable from life as we know it. Mathematics graduates earn on average a significant amount higher than the average starting salary. As a main motive for many students to study certain subjects, the potential pay is a definite bonus factor with mathematics, helped by the versatile nature of the skills involved.
