Level 3 Mathematical Studies is a new qualification designed for students who have achieved a grade 5 or above at GCSE.
It helps to develop students’ mathematical skills and thinking and supports courses such as A-Level Psychology, Biology, Chemistry and Geography as well as the BTEC qualifications.
The Mathematical Studies course will develop your knowledge of pure maths, including algebra and functions, proof, exponentials and logarithms as well as geometry and calculus.
Mathematical Studies aims to prepare students for the mathematical demands of higher education and work where there is a distinct mathematical or statistical element.
The students will sit two exams at the end of a one year course. Studying maths helps you develop skills in logical thinking and statistical or strategic knowledge, which are valued by employers.
Higher education courses or careers that require mathematics or are strongly related include economics, medicine, engineering, accountancy, psychology, architecture, physics, computing, teaching and ICT.
