Many university courses (eg Sciences, Social Sciences, Geography, Engineering, Healthcare) have a significant mathematical content. A level Mathematics provides a good foundation for such courses but considering a wide range of application of Mathematics. Employees value qualification in Mathematics both in term of the subject content and also the problem solving skills which students develop throughout the course.
This course will appeal to those students who have an interest in Mathematics and problem solving; can cope with challenging concepts and don't give up easily; wish to apply for any university course which has some mathematical content.
