Students who are especially keen on Mathematics will enjoy the A Level in Further Mathematics. It is a challenging qualification that extends and deepens students' knowledge and understanding beyond the standard A-level mathematics course. It is most suitable for highly motivated students, who have a genuine interest in the subject, and who wish to read Mathematics or mathematically orientated degree subjects, such as Physics, at university. In addition to the A Level modules, you will usually take 4 extra Pure modules and two extra modules in Mechanics, Statistics, Decision, or a mixture. When opting for Further Maths it is preferable to choose Statistics as an A Level Mathematics option as Mechanics is automatically covered in Further Maths. You will have two teachers; usually one will teach the Pure modules and one will teach the Mechanics, Statistics, or Decision. Classes are usually very small and the combination of modules can therefore be flexible. Each fortnight, 5 hours of teaching time is allocated to the Pure modules and 4 hours are allocated to the Mechanics, Statistics, or Decision components at AS level. At A2, you are again taught as a separate group with 5 hours allocated to the Pure component and 4 hours to the chosen option.
Students need to achieve at least 28 points from their best 6 GCSE results. Grade 7 in GCSE Maths.
