Breadth Option - Core Mathematics

Course summary

The ability to think and reason mathematically is a skill that permeates many aspects of our lives, as well as providing a foundation for success in a number of different A Level and degree courses. The Core Mathematics breadth option has been developed to cater for this very fact. Whether you would like to continue your study of mathematics to support your other A Level subjects, or you simply wish to continue your study of mathematics to increase the range of future options available to you, then this could be the course for you. During the course you will cover key concepts such as proportional reasoning, graphical techniques and statistical methods, all of which will aid your progress in subjects such as the sciences, geography, business and psychology. Although there is no requirement to take this qualification as part of the course you will have the option to do so. This is a qualification that carries UCAS points and is increasingly being valued highly by a number of universities, to the point where some are beginning to give reduced offers to students with a high grade in it. There would therefore be a number of potential benefits to having this qualification on your curriculum vitae.
