Top results again for our Mathematicians With 100% pass rate at AS and A level, it was another excellent year for our A Level Maths and Further Maths Department. Charles Adegboro, Head of Maths, said “The students deserve a massive amount of credit for all of their hard work. We set them challenging but achievable goals and all of them succeeded with flying colours”. 30
Mathematics Further Mathematics AS / A LEVEL D115 What does the course involve? A Level Mathematics is a stimulating and challenging subject which is highly regarded by employers and universities. This course is suitable if you enjoy GCSE Mathematics and you have an aptitude for problem solving. You will gain knowledge of a wide variety of mathematical techniques and develop skills in problem solving and analytical thinking. You will also develop the ability to manipulate figures and use abstract reasoning and logic in problem solving, which are desirable skills in many career areas and for many university courses. The AS course builds upon all GCSE work, especially Algebra. You will also be introduced to an application module in Statistics. Within the A2 course, Algebra is studied to a much greater depth and there is an opportunity to study another application module in Decision Mathematics, which involves the study of various algorithms used in solving optimisation and network problems e.g. computer, road, rail and telephone networks. Standard Entry Requirements See page 9 for details. Additional Entry Requirements Grade B in GCSE Maths. How will I be assessed You are assessed by written exams in January and summer in both the AS and A2 year. What can I do after the course? A Level Maths will help with further studies at university in courses such as Engineering and Medicine. It can also lead to courses in Economics, Business Studies, Law, Computing etc. It is a highly respected qualification for those wishing to enter employment. AS / A LEVEL D109 What does the course involve? Further Mathematics is a second A Level (or AS) in Mathematics. It is a subject for those who enjoy Mathematics and have achieved at least a Grade A in GCSE Maths. It gives you the opportunity to study all the applied Maths options, Statistics, Mechanics and Decision Maths in greater depth. In addition three extra units of Pure Maths are offered. This implies that the time commitment to Mathematics during the A Level programme is doubled so it is essential that you really do enjoy and are good at Maths. Students taking Further Mathematics will need to complete twelve modules altogether (six for A Level Mathematics and six for Further Mathematics). After successful completion of the programme, students will achieve A Level qualifications in both Mathematics and Further Mathematics (i.e. two A Level subjects). Students wishing to take AS Further Mathematics will need to complete nine modules (six for Mathematics A Level and three for Further Mathematics AS Level) and at the end, they will be awarded an A Level qualification in Mathematics and AS Level in Further Mathematics. Standard Entry Requirements See page 9 for details. Additional Entry Requirements Grade A in GCSE Maths. How will I be assessed You are assessed by written exams in January and summer in both the AS and A2 year. What can I do after the course? Further Maths at AS/A2 will put students in an excellent position if they wish to study mathematics or a subject with a very high mathematical content e.g. Engineering, Physics, Computing, Accountancy, Economics, Statistics, Actuarial Science at University.
