Mathematics
If you are enjoying studying Mathematics at GCSE level, A Level Mathematics is an excellent next step. The course builds on key topics such as algebra, trigonometry and graphs, while introducing new and powerful areas of mathematics including calculus, exponentials and logarithms.
If you are enjoying studying Mathematics at GCSE level, A Level Mathematics is an excellent next step. The course builds on key topics such as algebra, trigonometry and graphs, while introducing new and powerful areas of mathematics including calculus, exponentials and logarithms.
We recommend you have a Grade 7 in GCSE Mathematics to ensure you can succeed in A-level study.
Mathematics is typically studied as a full A-Level course; however, we are also able to support students who wish to complete the AS qualification upon request.
What will you learn?
On the A-Level Mathematics course, you will deepen your understanding of key areas of mathematics and develop advanced problem-solving skills. You will study topics such as algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and mathematical modelling, alongside statistics and mechanics. The course will help you learn how to analyse complex problems, interpret data, and apply mathematical techniques to a range of real-world situations.
