Course summary

A Level Further Mathematics is designed for those who excelled at the Higher Tier GCSE maths and have a keen love for the subject. It takes the maths learnt in AS and A-Level Mathematics, supports it and builds on it in new and exciting ways. It also introduces a lot of different and challenging topics that otherwise would not be taught until embarking on a Mathematics Degree. It lets students get to grasp with maths they cannot see as well as quite advanced mechanics models for the real world as well as practically exploring the algorithms used in computing, Sat Navs and construction tasks. An A Level in further mathematics is one of the most sought-after qualifications by higher education providers and employers. Consistently for the last 10 years we have achieved A Level results in the top 5-10% of the country and most students who study further maths go onto further education to study a maths-based subject such as: Mathematics, Engineering, Economics, Architecture and the Sciences.
