Mathematical Studies

Course summary

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.
