A level Further Maths will take your understanding of maths further than it has ever reached, within Core Pure Mathematics unit, you will explore theorems and concepts by some of the most influential mathematicians that have ever existed. This A level must be taken alongside A level maths and will allow you to view theory not covered across the Maths specification, you will learn many techniques only seen within Higher Education courses.
A level mathematics will allow you to explore and build on the concepts covered within GCSEs and open your mind to new techniques and methods used within thousands of potential careers. You will develop problem solving and reasoning skills which will make you a more resilient and independent person capable of tackling anything that you may face. You will develop your understanding of pure mathematical concepts and apply your knowledge to real life contexts across statistics, interpreting real life data and mechanics, exploring the forces affecting the world around us.
Mathematics in Context is real life maths for real life problems. Explore mathematical concepts the way that the professionals do, exploring theory and immediately applying this to a real life scenario/career where it would be present.
The EPQ offers the chance for A Level students at ED6 to gain real independence, resilience and maturity as learner, while pursuing any topic of your choosing. It is equivalent to 50% of an A Level and is well regarded by universities as evidence that the transition from college to university will be a smooth one and may be taking in to consideration in their conditional offer or provide additional UCAS point.
