Course summary

Further Mathematics is an excellent choice for those students who believe that they will want to study a Mathematics-related course after they leave school. If you enjoy Physics then you should find the Mechanics module interesting and relevant. The Further Mathematics course will build on the modules studied for A level Mathematics. In year 1, you will study pure maths concepts such as proof, complex numbers, matrices, calculus, and further vectors. You will also study mechanics concepts such as collisions, work and energy, and elastic strings and springs; and you will study statistics concepts such as probability distributions and Chi squared test. In Year 2, you will build on these topics, while learning new ones, such as polar coordinates, hyperbolic functions, differential equations, and hypothesis testing.

Entry requirements

Grade 8 in GCSE Maths.

How you'll be assessed

You will have four external written assessments, each making up a quarter of the A level and taking 1h30min. Two assessments cover pure mathematics, one covers further mechanics, and one covers further statistics.
