Core Maths is a new Level 3 qualification for students who want to keep up their valuable maths skills but are not planning to take AS or A Level Mathematics. Many careers and university courses require a knowledge of Mathematics and Statistics. Core Maths has been designed to maintain and develop these real life Maths skills. It will also help with other A Level subjects in particular Science, Geography, Business Studies, Psychology and Economics. Core Maths builds on GCSE Maths with a greater focus on problem solving by looking at mathematics in context. This includes financial applications of Mathematics, applications of Mathematics in business and statistical ideas that can support work in other subjects. Most students who study Maths after GCSE improve their career choices and increase their earning potential. The course has been developed with employers, universities and professional bodies as valuable preparation for higher education and employment.
Minimum Grade 5 GCSE in Maths
At the end of the course, students will come out with a level 3 qualification – with equivalent UCAS points to an AS Level. The qualification is assessed by final examination.
