What the college says

Core Maths qualifications are designed for students who have achieved grade C or better in GCSE Mathematics, but who do not intend to take AS/A level Mathematics. They enable learners to strengthen and develop the mathematical knowledge and skills they have learnt at GCSE so that they can apply them to the problems that they will encounter in their other level 3 courses, further study, life and employment. Here at the UTC we have a team of passionate teachers delivering the Core Maths to complement the specialisms of the UTC. At the end of the two year course students will come out with a level 3 qualification-similar to an AS. The qualification is assessed by final examination.
