Mathematical Studies

Course summary

The Level 3 Certificate Mathematical studies consists of two papers. The main content for core Maths is Financial Maths, Statistics & Probability, Critical analysis of information, solving real life problems and estimation. This qualification is designed to encourage and support students who have already achieved Grade 4 in GCSE Mathematics to retain, develop and enhance their mathematical skills. This versatile qualification is equal in size to an As level. This course will help you develop your understanding of mathematical concepts and will be advantageous if studying a degree with some mathematical and statistical methods required. It is useful for discovering real-life applications of mathematical concepts and will bolster confidence in using numeracy skills in later life. You will develop skills in problem solving, using, and applying Mathematics in non-mathematical contexts, as well as learn to devise strategies to solving problems where the method is not obvious. You will also be developing skills such as estimating appropriately.
