What the college says

Core Mathematics is a two year course based on 2.5 hours per week. It is a Level 3 qualification which means it has the same number of UCAS points as an AS-level. The course includes topics such as statistics, probability, advanced calculation and modelling. It is specifically designed to develop students mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills. It will be quite different to GCSE maths as it will be based on activities that give you the chance to find new properties or create new ways of thinking to solve concrete problems. Most of the problems will be embedded in the context of other disciplines and the real world and so will support your work in other areas.
