What the college says

Strong mathematicians can finish with two ‘A’ Levels – one in Mathematics and the other in Further Mathematics.Studying for this additional qualification will allow students to gain greater breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding of the subject. For instance, the study of imaginary numbers will open up a whole new world of numbers which have very important applications in engineering, physics and mathematics. In addition, the ideas introduced in the Mathematics qualification are taken to a much more complex level. Clearly this ‘double’ qualification is an extremely powerful one for those strong enough mathematically to study it. Although it is rarely a stated requirement for entry to courses in higher education it is highly recommended that students have studied it if they intend to study Mathematics, Engineering or certain scientific courses at some universities. Indeed, some students may find themselves at a disadvantage if they apply for such courses without having studied Further Mathematics at A level. Students are advised to speak to a member of the Mathematics department or do some university course research to determine if this is the case..
