at Dane Court Grammar School, Broadstairs · school or sixth form
What the college says
These courses are designed for students with a strong background in Mathematics who are competent in a range of analytical and technical skills and have demonstrated high achievement, i.e. having achieved at least a high A grade in Mathematics at GCSE level. Some students will study Mathematics because of its intrinsic interest and their enjoyment of meeting its challenges; others because they intend to follow future studies in Mathematics or subjects which use this subject, such as Engineering, Physics, Economics, etc and for these students Higher Level is a necessity. There should be only a very few students who need to study Mathematics Standard Level ? Mathematical Studies is acceptable for most non-mathematical courses at university level. (Ask one of the Mathematics teachers if you are not sure.) We intend the course to be a rigorous pre-university qualification. It is strongly hoped that the Mathematics element of the diploma programme will be acknowledged as a good basis for students before they embark on their university or higher education courses.
