Maths A Level
A Level Mathematics is essential for students aiming for careers in science, engineering, business, or professional mathematics. This course helps you develop strong analytical and problem-solving skills that are highly valued across many industries.
Course overview
Often thought of as a supporting subject, the content of A level maths builds a strong foundation of techniques which you can apply in other subject areas. Your algebraic skills will need to be good and you will be expected to spend a substantial amount of time outside the classroom with independent study. You will spend two-thirds of your time studying pure mathematics (trigonometry, calculus, graph transformations, geometry and sequences) and one-third studying an applied module which uses real life situations to be able to work with equations of motion and Newtons’ Laws along with probability distributions to analyse and evaluate data.
