What the college says

Core maths is an exciting new mathematical qualification with clear links to the real world. The subject is an A/S so worth half an A Level. Mathematics can be used to help people make decisions, form business plans and understand in detail the information they are presented with every day. Core maths aims to help students become more mathematically aware, in order to be more employable and less susceptible to the mathematical pitfalls of life. This course is ideal if you enjoy maths but are not taking the A Level, and as a course to support your other A Level studies, such as Economics. It is also widely welcomed by many universities, with some altering entry requirements for those who gain a high grade in this qualification.
