How You Will Be Assessed
The course is assessed through written exams at A level only. All of the exams will be taken at the end of the two year course.
There are four components to the assessments as detailed below:
Pure Mathematics 1 - (1hr 50min exam), 30% of overall A level grade
Pure Mathematics 3 - (1hr 50min exam), 30% of overall A level grade
Mechanics 1 - (1hr 15min exam), 20% of overall A level grade
Probability & Statistics 1 - (1hr 15min exam), 20% of overall A level grade
University Courses and Career Paths
Degree level Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Chemistry, Biology, Medicine, Economics, and Accounting.
*(Further maths is recommended as an additional A Level subject if you are interested in degree level study for the first three items).
If you are planning to study one or more of the science subjects at A Level then it is recommended that you study A Level Maths as well.
