Many university courses have a significant mathematical content. A level mathematics provides a good foundation for such courses by considering a wide range of applications of Mathematics. Employers value qualifications in Mathematics both in terms of the subject content and also the problem solving skills which students develop through the course.
This course will appeal to those students who: have an interest in Mathematics and problem solving; can cope with challenging concepts and don't give up easily; wish to apply for any university course which has some mathematical content.
