Course Details 

Why choose this course?

Mathematics is the study of patterns, problem-solving, logic and reasoning. It underpins the sciences, economics, technology, and many aspects of everyday life. A-Level Mathematics builds upon the foundations of GCSE, developing advanced skills in algebra, geometry, calculus, statistics and mechanics.

Studying Maths enables you to think critically, analyse situations and solve complex problems. It’s a subject that is both highly academic and highly practical — providing a toolkit of skills that are valued in almost every career.

If you enjoy problem-solving, logical thinking and applying mathematical ideas to real-world contexts, then A-Level Mathematics is the perfect choice.
