Career Opportunities
Employers look for hard-working, self-motivated, and intelligent people to join their staff. Obtaining a Maths A Level shows that you have what it takes. You may not use algebra or probability in your job every day, but the transferable skills of analysis, logic, and problem solving will always come in handy.
Some degree subjects like Physics and Engineering ask for a Maths A Level as part of the entry requirements. Others such as Medicine and Architecture don’t make it a necessity, but they still have a decent amount of mathematical content. If you go in with a Maths A Level, you’ll have a much easier time than those who don’t.
