M124 Essential Mathematics is equivalent to A level?

Hi, I'm considering doing this course/module in Open University next year, however, I'm not sure if this module will be equivalent to A level Maths for universities such as Exeter, Bath, Loughborough, and others?

Upto the individual unis to say yes or no, but the content list https://mcs-notes2.open.ac.uk/files/MST124syllabus.pdf suggests it covers a pretty decent chunk of the standard pure maths content of A-level, you'll be missing out a couple of topics (nothing mentioned about differential equations, partial fractions, parametric equations, implicit differentiation just off the top of my head) but equally you'll cover some topics that are traditionally the domain of further maths (matrices, complex numbers, Taylor series etc).

I imagine doing MST125 as well would cover the rest (and also a good chunk of the further maths content, along with a bit of mechanics by the looks of it) - the topic list for that is here: https://mcs-notes2.open.ac.uk/files/MST125syllabus.pdf

I guess some of it depends on what it is you actually want to do at uni i.e. are you looking to do a maths degree or just something that needs you to have A-level Maths to get in.

Worth remembering that some unis also offer their own foundation year too for people to 'convert' into subjects they don't have the standard set of A-levels for.

Also there's the option of doing A-levels remotely e.g. https://www.nec.ac.uk/courses/maths-a-level/ - this is a fair bit cheaper than going down the OU route.

You would need to check with those universities whether they would accept it or not.
It is not an equivalent qualification but some universities will accept instead of the a-level requirements however there are a lot that will not.
