Edexcel International A-Level Mathematics
Edexcel international A-level mathematics is a modular programme leading to six possible qualifications:
- IAS - Mathematics
- IAS - Further mathematics
- IAS - Pure mathematics
- A-level - Mathematics
- A-level - Further mathematics
- A-level - Pure mathematics
There are 14 units to choice from but note that a unit can only be used once to claim a qualification. We offer courses in each of the units individually so you have maximum flexibility.
An AS qualification requires 3 units
An A-level qualification requires 6 units (see options below)
| Qualification | Compulsory Units | Optional Units |
|---|---|---|
| A-level Mathematics | P1, P2, P3, P4 | M1, and S1 or M1 and D1 or M1 and M2 or S1 and D1 0r S1 and S2 |
| A-Level further mathematics | FP1 and either FP2 or FP3 | FP2, FP3, M1, M2, M3, S1, S2, S3, D1 |
| A-Level pure mathematics | P1, P2, P3, P4, FP1 | FP2 or FP3 |
