Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

It is possible to study Further Mathematics in addition to Mathematics, as another A level. You might consider this option if you intend to take a Mathematics or related degree and it is one of your strongest subjects. Further Mathematics would be taken as a fourth subject. At A level, the Further Mathematics course becomes quite demanding and is only suitable for the strongest mathematicians. Ideally, you would have achieved at least a Grade 8 at IGCSE and be willing to commit time outside of lessons. You will extend your study of Pure Mathematics to a much deeper level of understanding. You will also develop two applied branches of Mathematics from Statistics, Discrete and Mechanics. If you are planning to take a degree such as Engineering, Science, Computer Science or Mathematics, you will benefit from taking Further Mathematics. Students who have studied Further Mathematics find the transition to such degrees far more straightforward. It is essential for some Mathematical courses at the top Universities.
