Mathematical Studies

Course summary

The Level 3 Mathematical Studies course, often referred to as “Core Maths”, provides students with an opportunity to extend their understanding of Mathematics in Y12, without studying A-level Mathematics. The course is studied in addition to three full A levels during Year 12. It is a one-year course that builds on the GCSE and helps to develop students’ mathematical skills, especially statistical analysis and finance. It supports many A-levels such as Psychology, Sciences, Geography, and Economics as well as any future degrees courses, or other technical and vocational qualifications. The Level 3 Mathematical Studies course is worth the same amount of UCAS points as an AS-level qualification.
