Maths

Welcome to the Mathematics Department at UCS, where we nurture critical thinkers and problem solvers. Our comprehensive curriculum is designed to inspire a love for mathematics and equip students with essential skills for their future.

Curriculum Overview

A Level Mathematics separates Mathematics into three strands, Pure, Mechanics and Statistics. It provides the opportunity to develop skills in problem solving, logic and statistics, unlocking the key skills learners will need to progress to degree courses.
Core Maths is equivalent to an AS level, which develops skills in statistics and data skills. These transferrable skills support the course content in the health, engineering, and science qualifications UCS offers.
