Hello I'm a student

I want to do further Mathematics after finishing my a levels. Is it possible and how should I do it?

You can get tuition, learn online and sit the exam privately

Hi!
It is definitely not easy, as Further Maths is a lot of work. But if you are up for it: you most likely can!
The easiest option would be to reach out to your school and ask if you can sit the exam through them. Alternatively, there are many centres where you can sit the exam as a private candidate. Also, keep in mind that you would have to pay the private exam candidate fees if you sit the exam on your own.

Good luck!

Hi @claire546,
Do you mean to study further maths at uni?
If so, Lancaster do a range of maths courses, i've attached the course page to see if any of these interest you.
