Course Overview
Ready to take your passion for numbers to the next level? A Level Mathematics will help you develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and equip you with essential skills for your future. This course is designed to empower you to solve complex problems, think critically, and apply mathematical models to real-world situations.
What You'll Learn
You will explore the exciting world of pure mathematics, mechanics, and statistics. This course will challenge you to use mathematical reasoning, knowledge, and proof to solve problems and use data to model real-world scenarios. You'll also learn to understand the relevance of mathematics to other subjects, the workplace, and society as a whole.
The course is split into two years of study:
* Year 1 (AS Level): You will study Pure Maths in Unit 1 and a combination of Statistics and Mechanics in Unit 2.
* Year 2 (A2 Level): You will build on your knowledge with more Pure Maths in Unit 3 and a combination of Statistics, Differential Equations, Numerical Methods, and Mechanics in Unit 4.
For those who are passionate, capable and confident mathematicians, we recommend considering A Level Further Maths. This is a highly sought-after qualification at many universities for those who want to study subjects like Physics, Engineering, or Chemistry.
