Mathematics level 4 is designed to support students accessing Higher Education who may need support with core maths skills. As well as being designed around SCQF and the current level 4 requirements, the course also incorporates key skills for level 5 to support students prepare for the level 5 maths qualification which is often a pre-requisite for entry to Higher Education.
