Course summary

A-Level Further Mathematics is a highly desirable qualification that helps students achieve their aspirations for further study and their future career. For many universities, Further Mathematics is an impressive addition to an application and is well suited to students intending to study advanced Engineering (chemical, mechanical, electronic and electrical, or civil) or Mathematics at degree level. Students are introduced to a wider range of pure and applied content, such as matrices and complex numbers. Students who have studied Further Mathematics are often a step ahead of their peers when transitioning to university courses. Further Mathematics needs to be taken in addition to A-Level Mathematics, so together these will take up two option choices. Our Further Mathematics class sizes are small, allowing staff to develop deeper working relationships with students as they encounter more complex concepts. This is similar to the discussion groups that prestigious universities offer.
