Further mA*ths Online Programme

One-day introductory masterclass

Here, you will begin to explore elements of A-Level Further Mathematics, looking at the transition from GCSE to A-level.

You will take part in workshops based on topics from the A-level Further Mathematics curriculum to support your learning. Sessions will be run by Imperial academics and students, as well as partners from MEI.

When: January 2025

Two eight-week Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)

These courses have been carefully designed to fit with the A-level Further Mathematics curriculum, focusing on some of the key topics and trickier content, in a structured series.

Content is delivered in a variety of ways including videos, practice questions and assessments, covering a range of methods and applications. You will also receive ongoing online mentoring from current Imperial students.

When: During the spring or summer term.
