Does core maths count?

When universities say ‘required subjects:mathematics’ do they mean core maths or do I have to study further maths to qualify?

If they say maths is a requirement it will mean that you will need to have an A-levels maths. Core maths is almost an ‘extra’ - you can’t apply to universities with it (if that makes sense) xx

It means A level Maths - Core Maths is not an A level.

Core Maths is, at best, AS level.

Its still useful to do if you are planning on doing a STEM subject at Uni as it keeps your Maths skills going beyond GCSE, but if the Uni wants your 3 A level subjects to 'include Maths', that is what they want - a full A level.

I've seen Core Maths grade B equated with GCSE Maths grade 6 - each individual Uni will make a different call so you'll need to check their websites for any info on this and email each one individually to check if its not clear.

I did write to them they said it may be taken into consideration depending on how high the competitiveness of the course is.
Im aiming to go for Bsc international management at Warwick
