Mathematics A Level

Mathematics at GCE is a course worth studying, not only as a supporting subject for the physical and social sciences, but in its own right. It is challenging but interesting. It builds on work you will have met at GCSE, but also involves new ideas that some of the greatest minds of the last millennium have produced. It serves as a very useful support for many other qualifications as well as being a sought-after qualification for the workplace and courses in higher education courses.

What could I go on to do at the end of my course?

An AS in mathematics is very valuable as a supporting subject to many courses at Advanced GCE and degree level, especially in the sciences and geography, psychology, sociology and medical courses.

Advanced GCE mathematics is a much sought-after qualification for entry to a wide variety of full-time courses in higher education. There are also many areas of employment that see a Mathematics Advanced GCE as an important qualification and it is often a requirement for the vocational qualifications related to these areas.

Higher Education courses or careers that either require Advanced GCE Mathematics or are strongly related include:

economics

medicine

architecture

engineering

physics

accountancy

If you wanted to continue your study of mathematics after Advanced GCE you could follow a course in mathematics at degree level or even continue further as a postgraduate and get involved in mathematical research.
