Core Subjects
All students take two A-levels in Mathematics which we teach as a coherent whole. Lots of time for exploration and discovery - what could be more fun?
In Physics lessons you'll make links with maths and utilise the coding you learn through EMC, developing a strong foundation for further study.
Develop abstract thinking, general problem solving, mathematical reasoning, scientific and engineering-based thinking.
If there is a subject you're keen to study that EMS cannot offer, you may enjoy taking one of your A-levels at Exeter College.
