What the college says

The course aims to encourage students to derive interest, enjoyment and a sense of achievement from their studies. Students will learn by doing experiments, solving problems, analysing data and obtaining information from a variety of sources. We will expect students to show interest and initiative in their work and to be reliable in meeting deadlines. Students will need to take responsibility for their own notes and for reading widely around the subject. Students should take it upon themselves to act positively by seeking help and advice when in difficulty. Students must be mathematically competent and should be aware that several new mathematical skills beyond GCSE level will be taught and examined throughout this course.
