Higher Education Academy mathematical transistions report
Published in July 2014, Mathematical transitions investigated the mathematical and statistical requirements of university degrees in Business and Management, Chemistry, Computing, Economics, Geography, and Psychology.
It found that over 80,000 students following these courses struggled to meet the mathematical demands. These students had passed the GCSE Mathematics exam at 16 but had then dropped the subject.
The report presents a strong case for Core Maths, enabling students to sustain their mathematical studies alongside their other post-16 courses and allowing them to retain, deepen and extend their mathematics knowledge. It argues that doing so will enable students to cope better with the mathematical demands of education, as well as those of employment and everyday life.
