Thinking of teaching this qualification?

The final assessment opportunity (first time entries) for this qualification (H860) will be summer 2016. A retake series will be available in summer 2017. Please note that there will not be a series in January 2017.

Qualification reform

OCR is currently reforming its general qualifications in line with the government programme of reform. However, we have made the difficult decision not to redevelop the Level 3 Certificate in Mathematics for Engineering. Centres may be interested in the below qualifications.

  • Cambridge Technicals - Engineering Level 3 Certificate/Extended Certificate/Foundation Diploma/Diploma - 05822-05825 (from 2015)
  • AS/A Level GCE - Mathematics A - H230, H240
  • AS/A Level GCE - Physics A - H156, H556 (from 2015)
  • AS/A Level GCE - Physics B (Advancing Physics) - H157, H557 (from 2015)

This qualification promotes the teaching and learning of mathematics appropriate to engineering, post GCSE, in schools and colleges. The qualification includes a range of applied mathematical topics to allow schools and colleges to deliver a course to suit the requirements of potential engineering students. It has been designed to enable progression to qualifications in the National Qualifications Framework.

Benefits

  • Study the theory of mathematics and then apply this theory in a variety of engineering contexts.
  • Develops their understanding of mathematics and mathematical.
  • Develops abilities to reason logically and recognise incorrect reasoning.
  • Extend their range of mathematical skills and techniques.
