WHAT WILL I LEARN?
Maths is a demanding, but very rewarding subject, that is integral to a wide variety of fields and industries. A-Level Maths is a common entry requirement for universities, particularly in STEM subjects, economics and medicine.
The A-Level Maths course will develop your knowledge of pure maths, including algebra and functions, proof, exponentials and logarithms as well as geometry and calculus.
In statistics you will learn to use technology to process and interpret data. You will calculate probabilities using the binomial and the normal distribution and apply the language of statistical hypothesis testing developed through a binomial model.
In mechanics you will study mathematical modelling, kinematics, forces and Newton’s laws. You will learn to use calculus in kinematics for motion in a straight line.
WHAT NEXT?
Studying maths helps you develop skills in logical thinking and statistical or strategic knowledge, which are valued by employers.
Higher education courses or careers that require mathematics or are strongly related include economics, medicine, engineering, accountancy, psychology, architecture, physics, computing, teaching and ICT.
