Maths

Mathematics is so much more than a subject about numbers. Real maths is a heady mixture of exploring the abstract and deciphering the world around us. On a large scale mathematics provides us with the tools and language to decode the universe, but on a smaller, more human scale, it provides us with the practical knowledge to win at Monopoly! Studying Maths will equip you with the knowledge you need to understand all of the above and the skills required to live in an ever-increasingly technological world.

There is a reason Maths is the most popular A level subject in the country: not only is it an exciting and vibrant subject in its own right but it is the main facilitating subject for more undergraduate degree courses than any other post-16 subject. The content taught in Maths is essential for nearly every scientific, financial and IT-based degree course. It is often listed as desirable in less obvious courses that require heavy data analysis and reasoned logical arguments, like Psychology, Sociology, Geography and Law.
