There are four core modules which will cover pure mathematics. You will also study statistics with data analysis. Mechanics, which investigates the mathematics of Newton’s laws of motion, will be studied in the second year.

You will be taught how to use the maths software package Autograph for your coursework assignment. A high percentage of our students gain high grades on their coursework using this programme.

Study programmes

It is an entry requirement for some courses to have gained GCSEs A*-C in English and maths (see entry requirements). If the entry requirements to a course do not require A*-C in these subjects, and you haven’t already gained GCSEs A*-C in English and maths before joining us, you will continue to study English and maths as part of your programme and take appropriate qualifications in these subjects with the aim of achieving A* to C grade. In addition, to help you gain essential skills for employment, every student aged under 19 and studying a full-time course at college will take part in our study programmes alongside their main subject qualification. Find out more.

What can I go on to study?

You can also pursue further study in these fields on business and economics degree courses. An A Level in mathematics is highly regarded by both universities and potential employers.

How do I apply?

You don’t need to apply for each subject area you are interested in. Once we have received your application form we will invite you into college for an interview or audition where we will be able to discuss every aspect of the course you have chosen, as well as any alternatives you may be considering. You will also have the opportunity to visit the areas of the college used for your programme choice.
