Mathematics (Further) students have the opportunity to take part in a variety of course related experiences. In recent years, these have included:
- the opportunity to participate in the UKMT Senior Maths Challenge
- a visit to the Institute of Education in London to attend a variety of lectures on Mathematics
Progression
A Level Mathematics (Further) is welcomed as a qualification for a variety of Higher Education courses.
A Mathematics (Further) qualification is required for some subjects, such as Mathematics, Engineering and Physics, and useful for others, such as Biochemistry and Economics.
Many Mathematics graduates go on to work in Accountancy, Computing, Engineering, Management or Teaching.
Entry Requirements & Assessment
Students wishing to include A Levels in their programme need to have (or expect to achieve) at least five GCSE passes, with at least two at Grade 5 or above (and a satisfactory school reference) in order to be accepted on an A Level/BTEC Level 3 Programme.
In addition, students should meet the following minimum GCSE requirement:
- Grade 4 in English Language and Grade 7 in Maths and average GCSE score of 6.5
The approach and pace reflect the fact that most Mathematics (Further) will have achieved Grade 7 or above in most subjects at GCSE.
Students wishing to include A Levels in their programme need to have (or expect to achieve) at least five GCSE passes, with at least two at Grade 5 or above (and a satisfactory school reference) in order to be accepted on an A Level/BTEC Level 3 Programme.
There is no coursework, this subject is 100% exam.
What goes well with this course?
Mathematics goes well with every subject and it is probably the most marketable of all subjects. There are good economic reasons for studying Mathematics and it is difficult to think of any further education course or career where it would not be welcomed in combination with other subjects.
