Maths as a university option for students with a range of A-level grades

Joint Conference of Mathematics Subject Associations: Future Proofing The Curriculum, Loughborough University (15/04/2025).

Abstract:
University mathematics varies wildly. Are there degrees suitable for students with B/C/D grades at A-level? At Sheffield Hallam University, we see grades ranging from A to D, and only around a quarter with some Further Maths. We have a strong record of students with lower grades achieving top degree outcomes and developing into excellent graduates with worthwhile careers in mathematical occupations.
This workshop offers A-level teachers chance to try out first year curriculum topics, learn how students who don't get top grades get on with degree maths, and hear about careers taken up by graduates.
