What will I study?
In year one you will study three modules: two core modules in pure mathematics together with one applications module.
The applications module can be selected from the areas of mechanics, statistics and decision maths.
In year two, you study another three modules, two additional core modules in pure mathematics together with one other applications module. This applications module can be in the same area as your first year choice or in either of the other two.
In further maths you study more advanced pure mathematics modules with a wider range of applications modules. The course is structured in parallel with your mathematics AS and A-Level courses, with many topics developed further and ideas extended.
How is the course assessed?
AS-Level: Three exams.
A2-Level: Three exams.
What enrichment will there be?
Activities include:
· Relevant trips and visits.
· Guest speakers.
What could I do next?
Mathematics A-Level is respected by universities as one of the most difficult A-Levels. It is a desirable qualification for entry to a wide range of subjects at degree level like law, psychology, physics, engineering, computing and, of course, mathematics.
Mathematics graduates are in great demand in both industry and commerce, with many going into careers involving finance or IT.
