What the college says

We believe that students should learn an approach to Mathematics that will equip them to use it in the adult world and be able to communicate what they are doing to those around them. This course encourages students to develop their understanding of Mathematics in a way that promotes confidence and fosters enjoyment, extend their range of skills and techniques and use them in difficult unstructured situations, and develop an understanding of coherence, progression and connections. Further Mathematics will be taught concurrently with A Level Mathematics. If students are considering a degree in Mathematics or related subjects (eg. Physics, Engineering) they will find that an increasing number of universities welcome knowledge beyond A Level Mathematics. They would therefore be wise to consider Further Mathematics at A or AS Level should they wish to pursue a Mathematics-based career.
