What can this course offer me?
If you did not pass GCSE Maths with a grade C you are expected to make use of the opportunity to take it again during your stay at KGV. It may seriously restrict your career choices if you don't have a C grade as it is a necessary requirement for many university places and jobs.

What will I learn?
The course recaps the fundamental concepts of GCSE Maths at Foundation level which should help you to understand the topics better and increase your confidence. There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions and get help from tutors.

What Makes a good Mathematics student?
You should be successful in your resit of GCSE Maths if you concentrate in class, do the homework/past papers and ask for help when necessary.

Which other courses link well with this subject?
Studied alongside any programme.

Future Opportunities
