People with strong mathematical skills are in demand and valued by employers and universities. Mathematics is a ‘must-have’ A-Level for degree-level study in Physical Sciences, Computer Science, all branches of Engineering and of course, Mathematics. If you are thinking of choosing Physics, Computer Science or Chemistry at A-Level, Mathematics should go with them.

Whether it be in the sciences, business, sport or medicine we hope you will also enjoy studying mathematics for its own sake and come to appreciate its power and diversity. In order to solve problems in the real world, we often begin by translating the problem into mathematical equations to give us a clearer appreciation of the underlying aspects of the problem.

The Double Mathematics course consists of completing the A Level Mathematics course in one year, leading on to complete the Further Mathematics A Level in the second year.

The Mathematical Tripos was historically the first Tripos to be established at Cambridge, and the study of Mathematics has always been seen as one of the University’s main strengths.

Are you thinking of a career in business, science or engineering or perhaps becoming a professional mathematician? If so, studying A level Mathematics is going to be essential in developing your knowledge to support your skill base and help you succeed. Often thought of as a supporting subject, the content of A level maths builds a strong foundation of techniques which you can apply in other subject areas.

Attractive to both employers and universities, an A Level in maths is a highly desirable and versatile qualification. You will develop high level mathematical skills which will enable you to solve challenging problems. The main topics of study are pure maths, mechanics and statistics and these are assessed by three exam papers at the end of the two years (for AS maths, there are two exam papers at the end of the first year). At North Lindsey you will have the opportunity to sit 2 papers for AS mathematics at the end of the 1st year.

As the building blocks of almost every single business, English and Maths are those essential life skills that will help you through life, whatever career path you choose to follow.
