Mathematics

Level 3
Further Education
Armagh Campus

Overview

Studying A-Level Mathematics will help you develop the ability to reason logically and check the accuracy and validity of your work, thereby making it a well-respected subject for entry to many careers in which you would not be using the subject content directly as well as those in which mathematics is mandatory.

You will enhance your analytical and problem-solving skills whilst appreciating the relevance of mathematics in everyday life and in other fields of study.

The content covers pure mathematics, mechanics and statistics and provides a suitable background for further study of mathematics as a main subject or subsidiary part of a degree, foundation degree or professional qualification.

Attendance at Individual or Group Pre-Entry Advice Sessions (IPEAS and GPEAS) may be required. These interviews may take place either on campus, via telephone or video call (Microsoft teams) and will play an important role in the selection of all courses.

For applicants who are at least 16 years of age on or before 1st July in the year of proposed entry to the course and who have recently been in education to key stage 4, must have one of the following:

Applicants wishing to study 3 A-Levels must have achieved 5 GCSEs at Grade C. It is desirable that these should include GCSE English Language Grade C and GCSE Mathematics Grade B or above.
Applicants wishing to study 4 A-Levels must have achieved 6 GCSEs at Grade B. It is essential that these include GCSE English Language Grade C and GCSE Mathematics Grade B or above.
BTEC First Diploma or Certificate or equivalent at Merit or above (with an overall qualification profile equivalent to 20 points or above)
Leaving Certificate – a profile equivalent to 14 points (of which 4 subjects must be achieved at Grade C3 or better at Ordinary Level) pre-2017. From 2017, 4 subjects must be achieved at 04 or better at Ordinary Level.
Attendance at IPEAS or GPEAS is essential in the selection of candidates in all courses.
Applicants wishing to study an A-Level in Mathematics must have obtained GCSE Mathematics Grade B or above.
