GCE A Level Further Mathematics

What the college says
Further Mathematics is a facilitating subject enabling future study in a wide range of areas. It assumes all knowledge of Advanced GCE Mathematics and can only be taken in conjunction with this. Studying Further Mathematics is extremely challenging but it consolidates and reinforces standard Advanced Level Mathematics work, helping students to achieve their best possible grade in this. Students planning to take a highly mathematical degree such as Engineering, Sciences, Computing, Finance, Economics and Mathematics itself, will find they benefit enormously from taking Further Mathematics as it introduces new topics such as matrices and complex numbers that are vital in many STEM degrees. Students who have studied Further Mathematics often find the transition to such degrees far more straightforward. If students are passionate about maths then having a Further Mathematics qualification can bring benefit to students in any field as it clearly identifies them as having excellent analytical skills.
