Course summary

A Level Further Mathematics is a separate A Level that can only be taken in addition to taking A Level Mathematics. Half of the content of this will be Pure Mathematics and the remainder will be from options such as Mechanics, Statistics, Decision Mathematics and Further Pure. The choice of these options will often depend on the group but currently we study Decision Mathematics. Students taking Further Mathematics overwhelmingly find it to be an enjoyable, rewarding, stimulating and empowering experience. It is a challenging qualification, which both extends and deepens your knowledge and understanding beyond the standard A Level Mathematics. Students who do it often say it is their favourite subject. For someone who enjoys mathematics, it provides a challenge and a change to explore new and/or more sophisticated mathematical concepts. As well as learning new areas of Pure Mathematics you will study further applications of mathematics in two of the three options: Mechanics, Statistics and Decision Mathematics. Students who take Further Mathematics find the additional time spent studying mathematics boosts their marks in single A Level Mathematics. Studying Further Mathematics consolidates and reinforces your standard A Level Mathematics.
