Why Choose A-Level Further Mathematics?

Mathematics is a subject that can be combined well with both art and science subjects. It is highly valued by universities and colleges and can provide the student with skills which are invaluable to a whole range of other disciplines. It can also be fun and rewarding in its own right! Further mathematics is designed for able mathematicians who can work at an accelerated rate and therefore students need to be well motivated. Students need to study A-Level mathematics alongside the A-Level further mathematics course.
