Statistics is an application of mathematics and a field of study in its own right. Our lives are influenced increasingly by statistics and knowing just how it fits into other areas of life is a definite advantage. Statistics is used in many careers, for example deciding how much of a product a supermarket needs to buy, whether or not a new drug has a positive effect on a serious illness or understanding statements and figures quoted by politicians. Most careers now require some understanding of statistics. Statistics combines well with a broad range of subjects, including Biology, Geography, Psychology, Sociology, Economics and Business Studies. This subject will appeal to those who want to study a numerate subject but do not want to study lots of algebra and pure mathematics.
You should have a minimum of a Grade 5 in your Mathematics GCSE from the Higher Maths GCSE paper and a score of in excess of 50% in our Statistics diagnostic assessment (taken after the GCSE examinations).
This qualification is linear and students will sit their examinations at the end of the two-year course. They will sit three 2 hour papers. Students will need a graphical calculator, the use of which is permitted in all three papers.
