You may be required to complete an activity before you start in order to help introduce you to the subject. Check back in the summer term for more details.
As part of the Further Maths A Level, you will study areas focussing on further pure mathematics, further mechanics and modelling with algorithms. Students are encouraged to attend ‘Mathematics Inspiration’ lectures, to take part in the annual United Kingdom Mathematics Trust (UKMT) Challenge, and where appropriate to attend events and activities organised by the Further Mathematics Support Programme.
A key course for students planning to continue on to university to study subjects including mathematics, physics, engineering (mechanical, chemical and civil) and economics. It also provides a strong grounding for those wishing to pursue many other subject areas at degree level, ranging from accountancy and architecture to computing and science.
Alternatively, students may consider direct entry into employment or further training.
