A LEVEL Content In order to study Further Mathematics, you must also choose to study A Level Mathematics. It’s important that you have a passion for and enjoy Maths. Throughout this course, you will broaden the range of both pure and applied Mathematics options and develop your advanced algebraic techniques. If you are considering applying for Mathematics or a degree with a high Maths content at university, then you are strongly advised to take this course. Topics you will study include: summation of series, roots of polynomials, equations, complex numbers, algebra and graphs, De Moivre’s theorem, hyperbolics and matrices, impacts and collisions, poisson distribution and further hypothesis testing. FURTHER MATHEMATICS A LEVEL An A Level in Further Mathematics can be the starting point to a variety of careers - from engineering to accountancy. As a highly regarded subject, it opens doors to a range of career paths, including medicine, engineering, computer science or accounting. Entry Requirements In addition to the entry requirements on page 11, you will need a minnimum of Grade 8 in GCSE Mathematics. Assessment Assessment is by examination. GRAPHIC COMMUNICATION A LEVEL Graphic Communication is an engaging course that leads to careers in fine art, graphic design, motion graphics, fashion, advertising, and product design. Graphic Communication will be of advantage to you if you wish to progress to a foundation diploma in Art and Design. Content Your A Level in Graphic Communication will encourage you to develop a personalised visual language that has clarity and originality. You will explore drawing through digital and traditional methods, experiment with a wide range of tools, materials, and techniques, as well as learn how to use sketchbooks to explore your own creative process by experimenting with imagery and manipulating meanings. The course will provide you with the opportunity to explore a variety of graphic visual communication methods, including illustration, typography, and poster and packaging design. As part of the personal investigation component of the A Level, you will be required to produce a minimum of 1000-word critical study. At the end of the course, your work will be displayed at the annual art exhibition, which celebrates the creativity of our learners. Entry Requirements In addition to the entry requirements on page 11, you will need GCSEs in an art-based subject at a grade 9-6. If you have not studied an art-based subject at school, but wish to be considered for the course, you will need to demonstrate your ability and interest in art and bring a portfolio to your interview. Assessment You will be required to produce a portfolio of coursework and separate controlled assignments. Further Mathematics goes beyond A Level Maths, helping you tackle challenging problems and prepare for degrees in mathematics, engineering, computing and more. DID YOU KNOW...? DID YOU KNOW...?
