The Level 3 Mathematical Studies course, often referred to as “Core Maths”, provides students with an opportunity to extend their understanding of Mathematics in Y12, without studying A-level Mathematics. The course is studied in addition to three full A levels during Year 12. It is a one-year course that builds on the GCSE and helps to develop students’ mathematical skills, especially statistical analysis and finance. It supports many A-levels such as Psychology, Sciences, Geography, and Economics as well as any future degrees courses, or other technical and vocational qualifications. The Level 3 Mathematical Studies course is worth the same amount of UCAS points as an AS-level qualification.
Candidates must achieve a Grade 5 in GCSE Maths. In addition, students wishing to study this as a fourth A Level at GCSE would need to achieve an average point score of 5.5
Students will study the AQA Mathematical Studies course (code 1350). This is a one-year course with external exams set at the end of Year 12. The course features sections on personal finance, estimation, statistical techniques, critical analysis of data and models, and probability.
