Course Details
A & AS Level Mathematics Mathematics is a popular choice with students; typically we have two hundred students studying AS Mathematics in the first year with over thirty of these opting to study Further Maths AS as well. You must enjoy Mathematics to consider it for an A Level subject; you should get a kick out of solving problems correctly and enjoy a challenge. In the first year, students study two Pure Maths modules (C1, C2) and Decision Maths (D1). In the second year, you will study C3, C4 and Mechanics (M1). We follow the AQA syllabus.
