Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

If you love mathematics and you are very strong at it, you may choose to do the further mathematics course in addition to mathematics, this course builds on the mathematics course, by studying the pure, mechanics and statistics elements of mathematics in more detail and to a higher level. Normally you will have achieved a grade 9 at GCSE or International GCSE and you may also have done an additional mathematics qualification. The courses are taught simultaneously, but you will cover most of the mathematics A-level content in the Lower Sixth and further mathematics A-level content in the Upper Sixth. Both qualifications are examined at the end of the Upper Sixth. As well as being an excellent intellectual challenge, this course is invaluable for anyone applying to the top universities to study mathematics, engineering, physical science courses or economics. Success in further mathematics A-level marks you out as a person of rare intellectual talent.
