What the college says

Universities value Maths and it is a pre-requisite subject for a huge number of degrees. People who have studied Maths/ Further Maths have an excellent choice of careers, many of which involve very wellpaid professions. Maths and Further Maths are two of the Russell Group universities' 'facilitating' subjects � so-called because choosing them at A Level allows a wide range of options for degree study. Sciences such as Biology, Chemistry and Physics use many mathematical techniques, and subjects such as Geography, Psychology and Sociology are also likely to have components which will be far more easily mastered by those with prior study of Mathematics. Further Maths is also highly desirable, if not required, by many top universities for Mathematics, Science and Engineering courses, as well as Computer Science and Economics. It may be studied alongside, or after, A level Mathematics.
