Course summary

If you are planning on a career or university course in the areas of Maths, Physics, Engineering or Computer Science – or if you just really love learning maths – then the Maths and Further Maths 2 A-level package might be for you. This means you would study the normal A-level in Mathematics followed by a specialist Further Maths A-level aimed at bridging the gap to careers and university courses with very large maths contents. This A-level contains a lot of maths that most other students will never even need to think about but forms an essential part of higher study. If you are looking at the most selective Russell Group Universities then this may even be required as part of your offer, or just a highly desirable subject to support your application.

Entry requirements

At least five GCSEs at Grade 4 or above all from the core subjects including Grade 7 in Maths.

How you'll be assessed

At the end of the second year, you will have all of your maths exams for the two A-Levels. There are no exams in the first year. There are quite a few exams so we make sure we are finished with plenty of time to spare for revision. A-Level Maths = 2 two hour exams on Pure and 1 two hours on Stat & Mechanics A-Level Further Maths = 2 ninety-minute Core exams, 1 ninety-minute Further Stats, 1 ninety-minute Further Mechanics
