What You Will Study

Further Maths provides a great opportunity for enthusiastic mathematicians to broaden and deepen your subject knowledge. It’s ideal if you enjoy maths and are considering studying a degree in maths, physics, engineering, computer science, or economics.

In the first year you will study towards completing an AS Level in Further Maths. There is then the opportunity to continue this subject for a second year to achieve a full A Level qualification.

Further Maths builds on the knowledge of A Level Maths and involves the further study of pure maths as well as optional units of statistics, mechanics or working with algorithms. You will study a variety of topics based around some overarching themes - core pure, mechanics, statistics and modelling with algorithms. You will also focus on mathematical argument, language and proof, problem solving and modelling as well as vectors and 3D space, algebra, series, calculus, sampling, networks and linear programming.

You will have the opportunity to attend trips to inspire you and enhance your passion for the subject. Our Maths Inspiration trip to Cambridge will allow you to see the wider applications of the subject. You will also have the chance to attend a mathematical symposium in Norwich where you will get the opportunity to be inspired by outstanding external speakers.

If you achieve excellent grades in GCSE maths and are planning to apply for a science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) related degree, then this course is an ideal choice.
