The AQA Mathematical Studies qualification is ideal for students who have achieved at least a grade 5 at GCSE and have a passion for Mathematics but do not want to commit to the full A level course. Mathematical Studies is also an excellent complement to other courses that include statistical analysis such as, but not limited to, Biology, Psychology, Geography or Economics. You will study statistics, data analysis, estimation and critical analysis. There is also a personal finance module to prepare you for life after education. The course doesn’t cover topics such as calculus and logarithms and so, if you are thinking of university study in physics, engineering, or some economics courses, for example, it is likely that you would need A level Mathematics rather than Mathematical Studies. It is recommended that you check university entry requirements in such cases.
The AQA Mathematical Studies qualification is ideal for students who have achieved at least a grade 5 at GCSE and have a passion for Mathematics but do not want to commit to the full A level course.
This is a two-year course and will be your elective for both the Lower and Upper Sixth, with the exam being taken at the end of the second year, leading to a Level 3 qualification (roughly equivalent to the demands of half an A level).
