A Level Further Maths

If you’re considering a career like engineering, computer science, finance, data science or physics, A Level Further Maths can be a great way to get ready for the next step. It’s a chance to challenge yourself with more advanced mathematics, while giving your university application an extra boost if you’re applying for courses in areas like engineering or other mathematically focused subjects.

Ready to go beyond the usual A Level Maths syllabus? On this course, you’ll tackle more challenging areas including algebra, hyperbolic functions, vectors, linear programming, centres of mass, and dimensional analysis. You’ll build on what you already know, take on increasingly complex problems and learn how to apply mathematical ideas in new and challenging ways.

Once you’ve completed your studies and passed your exams, you’ll gain a nationally recognised AQA A Level Further Maths qualification, worth up to 56 UCAS points.
