Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

This course can be combined with other courses to make a full programme. You must also be studying A-Level Maths. This course can be combined with others and goes particularly well with Physics, Computer Science and other mathematically based courses. For students with an exceptional GCSE profile, Double Maths can potentially be taken as two A Levels as part of a four A Level programme. You will study an AS Level in the first year of this course. Students who are good at and enjoy doing Mathematics are encouraged to take Further Mathematics in addition to their Mathematics course, details of which can be found here. It may be taken in addition to three other A Level courses for particularly gifted students. If you really love exploring mathematical relationships and are very strong at Mathematics, you are encouraged to take Further Mathematics in addition to Mathematics A Level. This is taken as Double Mathematics, where you will study A Level Mathematics in your first year (and sit AS Level exams in Maths) and A Level Further Mathematics in your second year. You will have twice the number of maths lessons per week and after 2 years gain A Levels in both Maths and Further Maths. This course is ideal if you love Maths and want to do more of it! It is excellent preparation for a mathematically based degree at top universities, giving you an advantage in your understanding when you start your next steps. It will also help you stand out from the crowd when you apply.
