Course Summary

Mathematics is for everyone. It is essential that students are equipped with the right skills to reach their future destination, whatever that may be.

This course is for you if you want to continue your Mathematics beyond GCSE level, and are keen to develop your skills in context, not wanting to take a course which requires the deep understanding of algebra required for A Level Mathematics.

This course is designed for students who enjoy applying mathematics and are comfortable with number work and basic algebra. It is designed to broaden your mathematical knowledge, developing skills which support a range of other courses and devising strategies to solve problems where the method is not obvious.

Communication skills are important to evaluate the reasonableness of solutions, identifying assumptions and explaining results. In particular, the course is highly suitable for students who are taking A Levels which rely on an understanding of mathematical techniques (Geography, Science, Economics, Accounting), and who wish to go on to study courses at university which require a level of Mathematics beyond GCSE such as Economics or Psychology.
