Mathematics A Level [Y1]

You can only apply for one course type on an application.

Applying for A-Levels and/or V-Levels? You can choose to study three A-Levels or create a mixed programme combining A-Levels with other qualifications, including the new V-Levels. You will select the courses from a list of relevant subjects when you apply.

Applying for T-Levels? T-Levels are full-time courses that allow you to focus on one subject.

Applying for Vocational courses? Our technical and professional vocational courses are full-time programmes focusing on one subject. You can apply for up to two courses in the same application.

We accept applications to more than one campus; however once you have attended an interview session and received an offer from us, you will need to confirm your first-choice course and the campus you want to study at.

During this two-year course, you will be able to sharpen your skills in mathematics and take your powers of logic, analysis and problem-solving to the next level. You will study pure mathematics content covering topics in algebra, trigonometry, coordinate geometry and calculus.

On this course, you will study the content of the new A-Level Edexcel Maths syllabus which consists of the study of Pure Mathematics and the study of the application of mathematics in Mechanics and Statistics. You will develop your ability to spot patterns and structure in mathematics, while learning about mathematical modelling and the applications of mathematics in mechanics and statistics. The skills you will develop are in great demand and are central to technology, engineering, medicine and many aspects of everyday life. The key topics you will learn about are: * Algebra and functions * Coordinate geometry * Differentiation and integration * Sequences and series * Trigonometry * Vectors * Exponentials and logarithms * Mechanics * Statistics

At the end of the year two, you will take three papers, two with pure content and one with applied content. You will have two hours to complete each paper.

Our general entry criteria to study 3 A-Levels is: Minimum five GCSEs grade 4-9 with English Language or Maths at grade 5. For a mixed Level 3 programme the criteria are: Minimum five GCSEs grade 4-9 with English Language or Maths at grade 4. Subject specific entry criteria apply:A GCSE grade 6 in Maths.

Maths A-Level is a great qualification to have to gain access to a number of degree subjects at university. You will be able to access subjects such as Maths, Science, Engineering and Computing, and can also help you in other professions such as medicine, economics and psychology.
