Entry requirements (minimum)
- A or B pass in National 5 Maths, or equivalent. Please note National 5 Applications of Maths is not accepted.
Note:
Please ensure you meet these entry requirements prior to making payment. If you pay but do not meet the entry requirements, the College reserve the right to refuse any refund.
When you study National 5 / Higher evening subjects you will also be expected to commit to additional hours of self-study to support your learning. We'd recommend that studying in this way is suitable for those over 17 due to this workload. You'll also be expected to engage in classes (particularly in online classes) and to have a minimum of 80% attendance in order to go forward to the exam (for both in person and online classes). The college reserve the right to withdraw students who do not engage or attend.
You are required to provide your Scottish Candidate Number (SCN) upon booking so we can ensure you meet the entry requirements above.
Jobs and further study
Higher Maths can help you to progress to further study in areas such as commerce, engineering and science, where the mathematics learned will be put to direct use, as well as supporting progression to many other subject areas.
