Overview

This course is ideal for students who enjoy problem-solving, logical thinking, and working with numbers. If you liked IGCSE Maths and want to deepen your understanding, particularly with an eye on science, engineering, economics, or computing, A-Level Maths is a strong choice.

What will you study?

The course builds on IGCSE content and introduces more advanced concepts.

You’ll study a combination of:

• Pure Mathematics – including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, and functions

• Probability and Statistics – analysing data, understanding risk, distributions, and interpreting trends (important for sciences, economics, and social sciences)

A-Level Maths is challenging and fast-paced—regular and independent practice and learning is essential. Strong algebra skills from IGCSE are a must.

Future Pathways

A-Level Maths teaches you to think logically, analyse complex problems, and apply methods in unfamiliar contexts. It’s excellent preparation for degrees in mathematics, physics, engineering, economics, computing, and more.
