If you enjoy the challenge of problem-solving or want to develop your mathematical skills to support other subjects, this course is ideal for you. It sounds like the course you're describing is designed to enhance problem-solving skills and mathematical proficiency, which are valuable across a wide range of disciplines. Here are some key aspects that such a course might cover: Problem-Solving Techniques: Learning different strategies and techniques for approaching complex problems, breaking them down into manageable parts, and developing systematic solutions.

If you are passionate about improving your mathematical ability to the highest level this is the course for you. You will need to spend the full allocation of time given to a complete A Level in order to study Further Maths. Applicants will frequently have gained a Grade 8 or 9 at GCSE, be regular participants in maths challenges and have studied some additional maths at school. This course is usually taken as one of four subjects to ensure that you are still studying broadly.

The Core Maths qualification is for students who have passed GCSE Mathematics at Grade 5 or above but have decided not to study A Level Mathematics. It builds upon and strengthens existing skills and focuses on using and applying Mathematics to solve problems relevant to our everyday lives. Students in Social Sciences, Business, Psychology, Sciences and Health Sciences who are not taking A Level Mathematics may find the Core Maths element useful in preparing for university study where a working application of Maths or Statistics may be required.

This course is designed to give you a critical understanding of organisations, their markets and their external environment. It provides a valuable insight into all financial aspects of commercial and non-commercial organisations. If you are an aspiring business owner or are looking to study Business at university, then this is the course for you.

Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind, behaviour and experience. As such, it attempts to investigate, understand and explain behaviours such as obedience, aggression, relationships and attachment. The course consists of three exams at the end of two years, and the course will develop your academic skills in ways that will benefit you in the future, regardless of whether you go on to a career in Psychology.

Biology is central to many contemporary scientific issues including the environment, genetic engineering, stem cell research, bio-fuels and sustainability of the human food chain. During the course you will study all aspects of the science of life and living things. Studying biology is indeed crucial for understanding and addressing various contemporary scientific issues. Here are some key areas where biology plays a central role: Environment: Biology helps us understand ecosystems, biodiversity, and the impact of human activities on the environment.

You will need to be committed to an intensive course of study and prepared to devote a lot of time to the production of high-quality work on this course. You will explore a broad range of processes and techniques, learning new skills in our fully equipped, state of-the-art digital photo studio as well as the traditional darkroom.

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is valued by many Russell Group universities. Universities differ in whether or not they will include the EPQ as part of any offer they make to a student, but students can draw upon their EPQ in their personal statement and at interview to provide evidence of enthusiasm for their chosen subject. Students are recommended to check university guidance for more information.

Physics is the study of the properties and interactions of matter and energy. Our understanding of many features of the everyday world relies on knowledge drawn from the ideas and methods of Physics. On this course you will study how things work, from subatomic particles to galaxies.

Geography relates to the world around us, it is topical, it is exciting and you are always actively involved in learning, either in the classroom or on field trips. Geography is suitable for anyone who has an interest in the study of the earth’s landscapes, people, places and environments.

We live in an age where chemistry-based technology will be critical to our future success and even survival; the rapid development and production of low or zero carbon emission energy sources, transport technologies and commercially useful but environmentally sustainable materials will be vital over the next few decades.

Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind. You will be introduced to some basic ideas from different approaches within psychology, for example, cognitive and biological approaches to the understanding of behaviour. You will explore concepts such as gender, aggression and consumer habits. You will learn how to apply psychology to real life situations and conduct your own research.
