Core Maths is a Level 3 qualification studied after GCSE, usually alongside A Level subjects. While it is not an A Level or AS Level, it is the same academic level and carries the same UCAS points as an AS Level.
This one-year course is designed for students who want to continue developing their maths skills but do not need to study A Level Maths. It focuses on applying mathematics to real-life situations, helping you develop the practical problem-solving and analytical skills valued by universities and employers.
Students who complete Core Maths in Year 1 can choose to add an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) in Year 2, alongside their chosen two-year A Level subjects. This allows you to further strengthen your university application and develop research and independent learning skills.
