Studying GCSE Maths will develop a positive attitude to mathematics and an appreciation of the place of maths in both employment and everyday life.
You will learn to think mathematically, to understand mathematical ideas and how to use them.
This is a great subject to help develop your analytical and problem solving skills.
The times for these classes vary, with classes in the day and evening, so please contact us and we will try to find a day and time suitable for you to study.
Please note: If you do not have a minimum grade of 4 (C) in maths at GCSE you may be able to study this course for free. This would also depend on your location within the UK, but we would check this for you during your application process.
If you have already obtained a grade 4 (C) or higher, or live in a non-funded postcode, a fee would be payable. The course is only open to students 19+ at the beginning of the academic year (31 August). Fees are also applicable for international students.
Please check your eligibility with our Admissions team.
