Maths can be a fun and satisfying subject to study. It helps you to think analytically and to develop your reasoning skills in order to solve problems.
In addition, achieving a Maths GCSE grade 4 or 5 (C) will improve your chances of, or may be essential to, securing a placement whilst studying at De Montfort, gaining employment once you have graduated and progressing onto further study – such as teacher training or a higher degree course.
So, if you haven’t already gained a Maths GCSE grade 4 or 5 (C) you might want to consider studying for one alongside your degree.
You can study GCSE Maths anywhere in the country with a local provider such as a Further Education College.
