Course Description

Core Maths is a Level 3 qualification, taken alongside your other three subjects. The course is aimed at students who would benefit from studying Maths beyond GCSE but who haven’t chosen to study A Level in Maths. The qualification is equivalent to an AS Level and is graded A-E.

Core Maths is taken in Year 12 only

Entry Requirements

Grade 4 in Maths, though the course will challenge and interest Mathematicians of all abilities.

Possible Subject Combinations

Core Maths is designed to support other A-Levels which have numerical, mathematical or statistical content. In particular: Biology, Business, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, Geography, Physics & Psychology. The course is also ideal if you are planning on studying three subjects which have no Mathematical content – it will broaden your skills; diversify your CV or UCAS application and engage the problem-solving part of your brain!

Assessment

Two 90 minute written exams at the end of Year 12
