Entry Requirements: These are unique to each subject (located on the subject information page).

How to Apply: Please apply via KentChoices

You should only choose one subject per options block with a maximum of three subjects overall.

This specification is designed to encourage candidates to:

• Develop their understanding of advanced mathematical processes, extending their range of mathematical skills and techniques.

• Use their mathematical knowledge to make logical and reasoned decisions when solving problems.

• Apply their skills and knowledge in pure mathematics to applications in statistics and mechanics

Students will learn about:

Algebra and graphs Statistical sampling

Coordinate geometry Probability

Trigonometry Statistical distributions

Exponentials and logarithms Hypothesis testing

Sequences and series Vectors in mechanics

Numerical methods Kinematics

Vectors Moments

Calculus Statics and dynamics of a particle

In addition to the general Sixth Form entry requirements, a Grade 6 in GCSE Mathematics is advised, though a Grade 5 with evidence of strong algebra skills will be considered. Students will complete an entry assessment at the beginning of the course.

A-level Mathematics is a requirement if you want to study subjects such as Mathematics, Statistics, multiple Sciences, Engineering, and many more at university.

You are also more likely to succeed in many other degree subjects if you have A-level Mathematics, for example; Geography, Psychology and Medicine all use advanced Math’s skills.

A-level Mathematics is one of the facilitating subjects identified by the Russell Group of top universities. These subjects are recognised as giving students many transferable skills and as such are sought after in applications to a full range of degree subjects.
