Understanding the UK Mathematics Curriculum Pre-Higher Education
This resource, provided by Mathematics in Education and Industry, offers an overview of pre-university qualifications and describes major developments in mathematics.
Since there are a considerable number of pre-higher education qualifications in mathematics available in the United Kingdom, it is not always clear for those working within the higher education sector what content, methods and processes students will have studied as they begin university level programmes.
The Maths, Stats & OR Network, in conjunction with the Subject Centres for Bioscience, Engineering, Information and Computer Sciences, Materials and Physical Sciences, commissioned Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI) to compile a mathematics guide. This outlines what students with given prior qualifications in mathematics are likely to know and be able to do and is written for those within the Higher Education sector.
