A-Level Further Mathematics

A-Level Further Maths at Kingsley is taken alongside A-Level Mathematics as a double subject that counts as two A-Levels, and it stretches able mathematicians well beyond the standard course. Taught to the Edexcel specification, it suits members of the Kingsley Family aiming at maths, engineering, physics or computer science at a competitive university.

How it’s assessed

How it is assessed

Assessment is 100 percent examination, with three papers for this A-Level.

Where it leads

Where it leads

Further Mathematics is increasingly expected for acceptance onto Russell Group courses, especially maths, engineering, physics and computer science. It pairs naturally with A-Level Mathematics and A-Level Physics, and the Top Universities Programme supports Oxbridge and competitive STEM applicants alongside the wider guidance in the Sixth Form Welcome.
