This qualification awards you with an A Level in Mathematics after the first year, and an A level in Further Mathematics after the second year. Please see the Mathematics leaflet for a list of first year units. This course develops the subject areas covered in A Level Mathematics in to new concepts, such as imaginary numbers, differential equations and matrices. Decision Mathematics is also introduced, in the second year of study; this field deals with representing problems in a convenient way and using algorithmic approaches to solving them, it is a really useful tool for dealing with logistics, project management and computer science. The techniques learned in both pure and decision mathematics can be used to solve complex problems in areas such as engineering, physics, chemistry, computer science, management and economics. You will develop your mathematical skills further, particularly with regard to algebra and calculus. You will learn advanced mathematical concepts, such as complex numbers and matrices, which are applicable in a variety of contexts. You will learn how to model situations mathematically, including the use of Decision Mathematics, as well as developing your problem-solving and reasoning skills. Ultimately, A Level Further Mathematics will teach you essential skills that allow you to apply mathematics to the real world, as well as more abstract concepts that are invaluable for supporting the transition to a degree in Mathematics or related disciplines. A Level Further Mathematics is highly regarded by leading universities and employers, who value the academic rigor and challenge that it presents.
