Introduction to course
The Mathematics Department is a friendly, thriving department, with nine members of staff who are all passionate about their subject.

Course Details
You should consider doing this course instead of AS/A2 mathematics if you wish to use your mathematics to support other subjects which require analysing data techniques. It would be equally useful if you are studying an AS which involves analysing experimental data, for example, Biology, Psychology, Geography, Sociology, or Business at AS Level or BTEC National Diploma. This new course is available to students who already have a grade C or above in GCSE Mathematics. Statistics is the most widely used application of mathematics and the knowledge of statistical techniques is very useful in subjects such as biology, psychology, and business studies. Statistics at this level is not just about data handling; you will learn considerably more about probability and go on to to construct statistical models to solve everyday problems
