| The
Course We seek to provide a general, broad based A level that will meet the needs of mathematicians and also students studying sciences and/or humanities subjects. The A level is offered by MEI (Mathematics in Engineering and Industry) and is accredited by OCR – one of the three major examining bodies. It is a modular course, and students study three modules in year 12 to achieve an award in AS Mathematics. Those that are successful, and wish to proceed, then study a further three modules to complete the six that form an A level in Mathematics. We also offer a second AS and A level - in Further Mathematics. This has to be taken in conjunction with the “single” A level and following three (year 12) or six (year 13) modules culminates in a completely separate second award. » More about studying A Level Maths |
Some students will elect to follow Further Mathematics
as their fourth A level choice, and drop it at the end of year
12. An AS in Further Mathematics is an extremely valuable award,
and this route can be very productive. Students who intend to
study a mathematically based subject at University should study
Further Mathematics. » More on Mathematics Modules There are further modules, that could be offered to strong mathematicians who may wish to pursue the qualification "Additional Further Mathematics". It is also possible to study further modules beyond the six required for A Level for those intending to pursue Mathematics, Engineering or Physics to degree level. We feel that this scheme makes Mathematics more accessible, more relevant and allows flexibility in course design.
