Mathematics, Further

A Level Further Maths course will provide you with a deeper understanding and broader knowledge of mathematics than is provided by the single subject syllabus. This can prove particularly useful if you plan to go on to study a mathematics related subject at degree level.

Before You Start

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.

Course Content

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.

Students are required to complete at least 30 hours of enrichement per academic year whilst studying at The Henley College, learn more about Enrichment here.
