What the college says

Core Maths is a Level 3 qualification and is equivalent in size to an AS level. However, it is distinct from AS Mathematics as learners consolidate mathematical techniques that can be directly applied to a range of real-life contexts. We strongly recommend Core Maths to any students that are not taking AS Level Maths but are doing AS levels in any sciences, humanities, business or IT subjects as the course will prepare you for some of the mathematical demands of these courses.
