Mathematical Studies

Course summary

Core Mathematics is a course for those who want to keep up their valuable maths skills but are not planning to take A Level Mathematics. At the end of the two-year course, you will come out with a level 3 qualification – similar to an AS. The qualification is assessed by two final examinations. Core Maths has been designed to maintain and develop real-life maths skills. What you study is not purely theoretical or abstract; it can be applied on a day-today basis in work, study or life and includes a financial maths element. It will also help to support the mathematical content of some other A-level subjects. The skills developed in the study of Mathematics are increasingly important in the workplace and in higher education; studying Core Mathematics will help you keep up these essential skills.
