Further Maths A Level [Y1]

Studied alongside Mathematics, this two-year course will help you broaden and deepen your mathematical knowledge. You will build on topics from A-Level Mathematics such as trigonometry and calculus, and you will also meet new topics, such as matrices and complex numbers.

We give you the chance to study Further Maths alongside Mathematics, but we are the only local college to offer Further Maths as an entirely Pure Maths course. This means you also have the opportunity to learn about topics such as Groups and Number Theory, which investigate some of the building blocks of mathematics. Over the next two years, you will study the content of the new A-Level Edexcel Further Maths syllabus. You will study: * Complex Numbers * Matrices * Further Calculus * Differential Equations * Series * Vectors * Groups * Number Theory

At the end of the second year, you will sit four papers. Each paper is one hour and thirty minutes.

Our general entry criteria to study 3 A-Levels is: Minimum five GCSEs grade 4-9 with English Language or Maths at grade 5. For a mixed Level 3 programme the criteria are: Minimum five GCSEs grade 4-9 with English Language or Maths at grade 4. Subject specific entry criteria apply:A GCSE grade 7 in Maths.

Further Mathematics is recommended if you are considering a university degree in Maths, Engineering, Physics or Computing. These courses will build on many of the techniques you will study in Further Maths.
