A-Level Further Mathematics
at Philip Morant School and College · college
What the college says
This course is particularly aimed at students with a strong interest in pursuing mathematical subjects after A levels such as engineering, science, computing or technology, as well as mathematics itself. If you're planning to study A level maths and would like to broaden and deepen your mathematical knowledge and skills, then taking further maths alongside A level maths may be for you. Further maths is a facilitating subject which means it will also prepare you for a wide range of higher education subjects. Some universities may require further maths for entry to maths degree courses. You'll need a good grasp of the topics you covered at GCSE and confidence to take your skills to another level.
What you need to get on
An analytical mind, and a hunger to solve logical problems are essential. GCSE Mathematics grade 7, preferably grade 8, is required. Exposure to GCSE Further Maths will also give you a great foundation for this course.
How you are assessed
Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.
What this level means
The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.
