Mathematical Studies

Course summary

The Level 3 qualification in Mathematical Studies, also known as Core Mathematics, builds on work met at GCSE and extends to a greater depth on topics such as Mathematics for personal finance, data analysis using statistics, probability, as well as introducing new ideas and powerful techniques for solving problems in real life. Consequently, Core Mathematics complements the study of the sciences, social sciences, Business Studies, Geography and Psychology. Many of the topics covered on the course are met in the subjects listed above; therefore, the study of Core Mathematics is designed as a bolt-on course to underpin your learning and success across your A Levels.
