A Level Mathematics is a rigorous and highly respected course leading onto further studies in science, computing and engineering as well as in mathematics.
This challenging subject develops a sound understanding of mathematical fundamentals and builds from prior work. You will build solid skills that will aid you in all aspects of life including in the work place.
This is the ideal course for those interested in Mathematics as a concept as well as those moving on to higher education.
Mathematics course overview
This A Level in Mathematics builds a solid working knowledge of algebra, trigonometry, calculus, logarithms, differentiation, mathematical reasoning and proofs. In addition, the course introduces you to the use of maths in both mechanics and statistics which are more practical applications of mathematical theory in the real world. Your tutor will provide you with expert support and assistance so you can work your way through the syllabus with confidence. You should find develop not just an understanding of mathematics but an understanding of how different areas are connected.
Upon successful completion of the exam and practical assessments (as administered by AQA), you will have achieved an internationally recognised AQA A Level Mathematics

Assessment
The AQA A Level Mathematics qualification is gained once all 3 exam papers are successfully completed. These exams are administered by the AQA and assessment centre details will be included with your course, as well as practice papers so that you are more than prepared for your assessments. You will need to contact your local examination centre to work through your coursework requirements.
In addition, there will be a number of tutor marked assessments (TMAs) to ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the course materials, with the tutor sending comments to guide you through any areas of potential difficulty, as well as a range of self-assessments that are indicators that you understand the materials as you work through them. These are for your own information, and do not need to be shown to your course tutor.
Method of study
Online
The course is primarily an online course using a Learning Management System (LMS).
The online course has many features that cannot be printed such as embedded videos, forums and interactive tests.
The course includes Tutor Marked Assessments which you access and submit through the online system.
Tutor support
Our A Level courses come with tutor feedback and support by email for 24 months. They will mark your TMAs and provide valuable guidance through any trickier parts of the course whenever you need it. You will also receive a study guide to help you with all aspects of studying, essay writing and general student skills.
