Course Details
The University of Bolton's GCSE Mathematics Equivalency programme is designed to help you achieve the necessary Level 2 mathematics grade for admission to our initial teacher training and teacher education courses. If you don't hold GCSE Mathematics at grade 4/C or above or a suitable Level 2 equivalent, this short course can help you achieve the entry requirements. Even if you hold a Level 3 qualification in maths, such as A-level Mathematics, you must still provide evidence of Level 2 maths skills for these courses.
Our subject specialists offer personalised, stimulating teaching, supporting you to gain the knowledge and skills needed to achieve the equivalent of GCSE Mathematics at grade 4/C (or higher). Through a combination of on-campus teaching and learning and self-directed study, you can build your understanding of maths at Level 2. Our up-to-date resources, tasks, and activities align fully with the national mathematics curriculum, ensuring parity with examination board GCSEs.
Upon successfully completing our GCSE Mathematics Equivalency course, you'll possess vital skills, knowledge, and understanding of essential mathematical concepts at Level 2. As well as supporting your progression to further and higher education, these will be useful in your professional life and enhance your functional numeracy.
