Core Maths is a relatively new Level 3 qualification that enables students to develop their mathematics to gain UCAS points towards an application to university. The course sits within the A Level program and is equivalent to an AS Level qualification. The course is particularly suitable for those students who may not be considering A-level mathematics but are looking to study biology, chemistry, physics, geography or psychology at A Level. Another benefit of studying Core Maths is that some universities have lowered entry requirements for those who achieve a good grade in Core Maths. What will I study? This course is a one-year qualification and has a problem-solving approach with real-world maths applications. Some examples include analysis of data, maths for personal finance, statistics and probability. What could I do next? This course is aimed at those who need some maths to help them progress in their other A Level courses and to support their application to university by enabling them to receive extra UCAS points.
At least five GCSE passes or equivalent in five different subjects. You will need to achieve a minimum of a grade 5 in GCSE Maths.
The course is assessed at the end of Year 12 by two written papers. The first paper looks at personal finance, statistics and estimation. The second paper focuses on probability and correlation.
