What the college says

Part of the Double Maths course, this will take up two option blocks and leads to two A levels, one is titled Mathematics, the other is titled Further Mathematics. This is not a standalone course and must be taken alongside the single maths (Mathematics) course. Apart from acquiring mathematical knowledge, it is considered that students of this subject develop the ability to improve their problem-solving skills and to think logically. There is also recognition that students who study maths will experience challenges, often very difficult ones, and are prepared to work hard to overcome the difficulties.

What you need to get on

At least a good grade A is required. Most students have an A* at GCSE. Students certainly will also have to enjoy maths. Eighteen lessons per fortnight is a lot of maths.

How you are assessed

Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.

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?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
