What will I learn? Core Maths is intended for students who have passed GCSE Mathematics at grade 4 or better, but who have not chosen to study AS or A level Mathematics. It is studied over a two-year period and can be taken alongside A levels or other qualifications, including vocational courses. 50% of the course focusses on quantitative reasoning, which includes problem-solving and estimation, understanding risk, exponential functions and financial Mathematics. 50% of the course covers Statistics, which includes collecting and interpreting data, probability and hypothesis tests. What can I do at the end of the course? Studying Core Maths helps students develop their quantitative and problem-solving skills. This is valuable preparation for the quantitative skills they will need for many degree courses, particularly subjects such as psychology, geography, business-related courses, sports and social sciences, and natural science courses that do not require AS/A Mathematics. Many universities will accept a pass in Core Maths in lieu of a required grade in GCSE Mathematics.
This course is equivalent to an AS Level in Maths. This course is a supplementary course and MUST be taken to support the study of Science A Levels and Psychology A Level if Maths A Level is not being studied.
