Maths

Why study Maths?

Not only will studying mathematics help give you the knowledge to tackle scientific, mechanical, coding and abstract problems, it will also help you develop logic to tackle everyday issues like planning projects, managing budgets and even debating effectively.

Mathematics, as a study of patterns, both practical and abstract, involves analytical thought, logical reasoning, problem solving skills, and precise communication. Because of its power and versatility, mathematics has often been called the ‘Queen of the Sciences.’ There is no field of scientific inquiry that does not express itself through the language of mathematics.

A high GCSE grade in mathematics provides an excellent foundation for students who are interested in pursuing an A-Level or an advanced degree in mathematics or in a related specialised profession. Mathematics can also provide an excellent foundation for students considering A-levels in such allied fields such as Law, Business Administration, or Medicine.

The kinds of analytical and logical thinking skills that one develops while studying mathematics are precisely the skills that recruiters look for in potential employees. Jobs involving significant mathematical background also consistently rank near the top of the list in annual career surveys
