Further Mathematics A Level

A minimum of five GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including English Language and a grade 7 or above in Maths.

Please note that students must also choose A Level Mathematics to study alongside Further Mathematics. Consequently, it is recommended that Further Maths is part of a four A Level programme at the College.

Students with a very keen interest in Mathematics will really enjoy this course, which extends and deepens knowledge and understanding beyond the standard A Level Mathematics specification. It introduces new topics, such as matrices and complex numbers, which are vital in many Maths-related degrees. It extends the applied topics by studying algorithms that underpin modern technology, as well as developing more advanced mechanics.

The course is assessed by external exams at the end of the two years.

Support is provided to prepare for admission tests for competitive entry courses in Maths, such as STEP, as well as practice interviews for Oxford and Cambridge applications. Each year some students will attend summer schools for Maths at university.
