Good Subject Combinations

Mathematics is a requirement for many disciplines and is useful in most career paths. Apart from a degree in Mathematics, university courses related to Physics, Engineering, Economics or Medicine will require A level Mathematics. This is especially true for top universities. Therefore, you may want to combine Maths with other relevant subjects to you, such as Sciences, Economics or Further Mathematics.

Future Prospects

Mathematics involves many different skills, including analysis, interpretation and problem-solving. This builds a transferrable skill-set, which can be applied directly or indirectly to any career you may choose to pursue. Achieving a high grade in A level Maths is a highly respected qualification, which will positively influence your applications to future universities and employers.
