This course will develop your ability to apply a statistical eye to the world. You will develop essential skills needed to work with data sets, allowing you to interpret results and understand the world around you. Statistical analysis is used in many A Level and degree programmes including geography, biology, psychology and economics. If there are facts to analyse, then statistics is your toolkit.
The course is directly applicable and focuses on the development of the data handling and probability skills learnt at GCSE. You will study experimental design, collection, representation and interpretation of data, standard distributions, probability theory and hypothesis testing. This course can be taken in addition to A Level Mathematics or as an alternative.
A minimum of five GCSEs at grade 4 or above including English Language. You will also need a grade 6 or above in GCSE Mathematics.
You will have a 9.55am start, one lesson in the morning, one in the afternoon and a guaranteed 4pm finish.
You will take three exams, which you will sit at the end of your second year. Calculators can be used in all exams.
You could progress to university to study a statistics degree or move straight to employment. You will be able to access a range of careers from actuarial science to zoology. Careers in data science are often very highly paid.
