Course summary

Although it may seem a long way off, one day, you will be looking for a job. Your transferable skills will be of particular interest to potential employers, who will be concerned with the overall contribution you can make to their organisation. So what are these skills? • Analytical skills; clear thinking, attention to detail, ability to follow complex reasoning. • Communication skills; ability to communicate an argument precisely and logically. • Investigative skills; knowing where and how to find information. • Learning skills; ability to understand difficult concepts and apply them to a problem. Choosing Mathematics because you want to will get you a better grade than choosing it because you have to.
