Mathematics

Problem solving, logic, analysing solutions and improving numeracy techniques all constitute the core of this course. Maths is a fantastic subject to have at A level and is widely acknowledged by employers and universities.

Many students are taking mathematics as a support subject and their needs are met by the provision of a breadth of several distinct strands of the subject: Pure Maths, Mechanics and Statistics. If it is a topic you have so far enjoyed then what better reason to continue studying it!
