Level 3 Mathematics
300MAT Course Description Recommended Prior LearningStudents should be taking or have taken Level 2 Mathematics or Statistics in order to be able to do this course. They should have at least achieved 10 or more credits at Level 2 and have attained their Numeracy by this stage.
This course will enable study of Mathematics beyond secondary level. This course comprises of both Internal and External standards that contribute to the total credits. Students may sit for at-least one external at the end of the year which is optional depending on the pathway. This course is a University recognized subject, contributes to Numeracy and is eligible for Course endorsement.
This course is designed for students that are not certain about their career pathway yet, but still wish to pursue Mathematics. It covers a variety of topics, not specializing in Calculus or Statistics.
