Course summary

A Level Mathematics and Further Mathematics are significantly more challenging than GCSE Mathematics, but most boys find them correspondingly more interesting and rewarding. Both are regarded as “facilitating subjects” by universities and the logical and analytical thinking skills developed in Mathematics are also highly valued by employers. If you are considering a degree in a STEM subject, Mathematics is essential and Further Mathematics is likely to benefit your application.

Entry requirements

We require a minimum of six grades at Grade 6 and at least a grade 7 in each of the subjects to be studied at A level, as well as grade 7 or above in English and Maths where required. GCSE grade 8 or above in Mathematics
