A Level Further Mathematics is an advanced course designed for students who have a strong aptitude and interest in mathematics and will gain a grade 8 or 9 at GCSE. It builds upon the concepts and topics covered in A Level Mathematics, providing a deeper understanding and introducing more advanced mathematical techniques. You will delve into topics such as complex numbers, matrices, differential equations and further calculus techniques. You will explore abstract algebraic structures, including groups, rings and fields. This component of the course emphasizes rigorous proof-based reasoning, enabling students to develop their problem solving skills and logical thinking abilities. The course is divided into three modules studied. Students all study pure mathematics and choose two from: further pure, mechanics statistics or decision maths. You will develop your mathematical reasoning, logical thinking and analytical skills. The course encourages the exploration of connections between different areas of mathematics and application of knowledge to real-world situations. This qualification is highly regarded by universities and employers, as it demonstrates a high level of mathematical proficiency and problem solving ability. It provides an enriching and challenging experience for students who are passionate about mathematics and wish to deepen their understanding of the subject. It prepares them for advanced study in mathematics-related disciplines and equips them with valuable skills for their future endeavours.
All candidates are expected to achieve a minimum of five GCSEs at grade 9 to 5, including English and Maths, and at least grade 7 in the A Level subjects to be studied, or equivalent subjects.
Four written examinations, two in pure mathematics, the other two exams are in each of the chosen applied modules. The examinations are held at the end of the two-year programme. The overall grade is determined by the cumulative marks obtained in these examinations.
