Mathematics and Further Mathematics AS and A levels are essentially an expanding package of Mathematical modules.  There are 18 modules covering the subjects Pure Mathematics, Further Pure Mathematics, Mechanics, Statistics and Decision Mathematics.  Each module is equally weighted and is tested entirely by written examination.  Different combinations of modules can be taken.  The modules are increasingly challenging and allow students to gain fluency in the use of Algebra; knowledge of Differentiation and Integration; Trigonometry and other core topics.  Students then apply their knowledge to solving real world problems such as the minimum amount of material needed to create the largest volume container or the most effective route for a postman to deliver mail.

Entry qualifications

For AS and A2 level Mathematics students will require Grade B as a minimum at GCSE.  For Further Mathematics students will require Grade A or A*.
