What the college says

Particularly strong candidates can consider Further Mathematics A Level in addition to Mathematics A Level. As the name suggests, Further Mathematics takes the elements, skills, and competencies developed in A Level Mathematics even further, with students studying elements of Pure Mathematics, Statistics, Mechanics, and Discrete Mathematics not seen on the A Level course. Two thirds of the course content is Pure Mathematics, with Statistics, Mechanics or Discrete Mathematics making up the rest of the course. This course is designed for students who enjoy exploring the world of mathematics and have a real passion for the subject. It is particularly useful for anyone considering a career in Mathematics, engineering, electronics, economics or accountancy.
