What the college says

If you get a grade 7 or above at GCSE you should seriously consider studying Further Mathematics. Mathematics is such a vast subject it is impossible to cover it all in one A Level. A Level Further Mathematics builds on some of the concepts met in A Level Maths and is able to extend these in to other areas. It attracts students who thoroughly enjoy the subject and are keen to extend their understanding and knowledge.

Students who study both actually perform better due to their increased understanding of Mathematics in general.
