Course Summary
What is Core Maths?
Core Maths is a Level 3 qualification that develops practical mathematical skills for everyday life, further study and employment. Rather than covering the same content as A Level Maths, it focuses on applying maths to real-world situations, helping you analyse data, make informed decisions and solve practical problems with confidence.
Why study Core Maths?
Core Maths helps you build valuable mathematical skills without taking the full A Level Maths course. You'll develop practical knowledge in areas such as finance, statistics, data analysis and modelling, making it ideal for students whose future studies or careers benefit from maths but do not require A Level Maths. It also supports subjects like Psychology that include statistical content. Continuing maths beyond GCSE demonstrates strong problem-solving skills and the ability to apply mathematics in real-world contexts.
Entry requirements
Normal college entry requirements plus a grade 4 in GCSE Maths.
