Mathematical Studies aims to prepare students for the mathematical demands of higher education and work where there is a distinct mathematical or statistical element, but where the mathematical demands do not stretch to a requirement for A level Mathematics. This Level 3 qualification will consolidate students’ mathematical understanding, build their confidence in applying mathematical techniques to solve a range of problems and introduce them to new concepts that will prepare them for further study or employment. This course will give students the equivalent of half an A level and therefore will only be appropriate as a fourth choice.
Our entry requirements are five grades awarded 9–5 at GCSE/L2 pass or above at BTEC/CTEC equivalent including a minimum of GCSE Grades 5 or above in English & Maths. In addition, some subjects require a GCSE Grade 6 or above in specific entry requirements (see pages 12 and 13). For the A level programme a level 2 BTEC/CTEC Merit counts as an equivalent GCSE Grade 5.
Mathematical Studies is assessed by exam only. It is designed to be taken over one year with both exams taken at the end of the course
