Mathematical Studies

Course summary

Core Math aims to support students studying Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geography, and other facilitating subjects by delivering the Mathematical content required to be successful in these courses. It also provides support for those not wishing to take Mathematics A-Level but intending to undertake a degree in the Social Sciences or facilitating subjects. The course has been designed to maintain and develop real-life mathematical skills. What students study is not purely theoretical or abstract; it can be applied on a day-to-day basis, whether in work, study, or life. Core Math will include a financial mathematics element and can help with other A-level subjects, in particular with science, geography, business studies, economics, and psychology. Mathematical skills are becoming increasingly important in the workplace and higher education - studying Core Math will help students keep up with these essential skills.
