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.

Sixth form entry requirements. Grade 7 in GCSE Mathematics. A Level Mathematics must also be taken as an option.

How you are assessed

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?
