You'll need at least a grade 6 in GCSE Maths to enrol. The course runs daytime, Monday to Friday.

Who this course is for

A level Mathematics is a fantastic opportunity to challenge yourself and to further your understanding of how mathematics is used in the real world. Building on GCSE, it will both broaden and deepen your understanding enabling you to apply your skills to problem solving and mathematical modelling. To enrol on this course, you will need to achieve at least grade 6 at GCSE.

We also offer Further Mathematics as an additional A Level (or as an AS). A minimum of a grade 7 at GCSE is required to enrol on the Further Mathematics course.

Learning mathematics is invaluable; it forms the basis of so many useful systems and processes essential to business and industry. Many occupational fields also require advanced study of mathematics, making the A level course both versatile and popular. The course encompasses mechanics and statistics as well as the core elements of algebra, geometry and much more.

Mathematics complements many other subjects and is good training for the mind, helping to develop logical thinking and problem-solving skills. Students with mathematical qualifications are numerate and highly employable in a variety of areas as diverse as computing, engineering, medicine, finance, data analysis and business.
