What the college says

The mathematical and statistical content of this qualification is valuable for students preparing for a variety of technical and professional roles. You will learn about mathematical modelling, costing, risk and the use of spreadsheets. Financial problem solving, which is important for all students no matter what their future ambitions, is also a feature. You will look into tax and national insurance calculations, VAT, student loans and mortgages, but also Fermi estimations, analysing and representing data. Mathematical Studies aims to prepare you for the mathematical demands of higher education and work where there is a distinct mathematical or statistical element, but where the mathematical demands do not stretch to a requirement for A-level mathematics.

What you need to get on

Five grades 9 - 4 (including grade 4 in GCSE Mathematics)

How you are assessed

Learning a trade with tools and equipment, often in a college workshop or salon.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
