Universities are always looking to recruit students who have a mathematical background, so by demonstrating you can complete a demanding course such as this, your chances of getting into further education institutions is enhanced. Mathematics is considered by many employers as an indication of a person's ability to think logically and solve problems as well as being able to sustain a line of logic and to question assumptions that may have otherwise been made incorrectly. Mathematics at Advanced Level is a combination of pure mathematics (Core), Mechanics (M) and Statistics (S). The full Advanced Level course is made up of six modules, three of which are taught in the Lower Sixth; C1, C2 and S1. Half the content of C1 is some of the higher level GCSE put in a new context. This enables students to consolidate their algebraic skills before moving onto more demanding concepts. In the Upper Sixth C3, C4 and M1 are taught whilst all modules are examined. All exams are given the same weighting, so their final A2 result is simply an average of all their exam marks. In the past we have had upper sixth students work through additional modules: D1, M2 and FP1 in order to gain a Further Maths AS qualification. Universities look for this type of ambition when offering places on their courses.
