Mathematical Studies

Course summary

Core maths is a one-year Level 3 qualification, studied in addition to the three A-Level subjects. This extra qualification is taken in Year 12 and is suitable for students not already studying A-Level Mathematics. The course helps to build skills in mathematical thinking, reasoning and communication, with cross-curricular applications. Core maths provides a sound basis for mathematical demands that students will face at university and within employment across a broad range of academic, professional and technical fields.
