Overview
Maths A Level is the most sought after A Level amongst employers and universities. If you are considering studying for a degree in Science, Medicine, Computing, Economics or Engineering at a top university, you must seriously consider choosing Maths A Level. Many universities will not consider applications for quantitative degrees if they do not contain Maths A Level.
Maths A Level builds on what has been learnt during GCSE study, developing that foundational knowledge and expanding upon.
The A Level content is less procedural than GCSE and as such scholars who decide to take A Level maths need to be prepared to consider multiple diciplines.
