Mathematics (Further)

Entry Requirements

A Grade 7 in GCSE Maths is the minimum requirement to study Further Maths, although a grade 8 is preferable. It is recommended that students should have studied level 2 Further Maths during year 11 as well. Students are also expected to complete some preparation work over the summer holidays and are to be able to demonstrate sound GCSE algebra skills in the first few weeks of the course. But, perhaps more importantly, you need to have a real interest in maths and in solving mathematical/logical problems. You should probably have been in a top set and would need to have discussed this option with your teacher before applying for the course.
