Course summary

For those students with a particular passion for Mathematics, Further Mathematics is both deeper and broader than A Level Mathematics, combining both courses to cover the work of two A Levels. The subject acts as the perfect bridge between A Levels and university education, developing the skills required to work at degree level in any subject. Students studying Further Mathematics will encounter fascinating concepts such as matrices and complex numbers, study advanced mechanics and statistics, solve intricate problems and explore new mathematical ideas. Holding an A Level in Further Mathematics is one of the most highly regarded achievements of all.

Entry requirements

GCSE Grade 9 or above is required in Maths. Students are also required to have studied one form of Additional Maths in Year 11. Further Maths will suit students who are strong mathematicians who enjoy solving problems and puzzles and really being stretched and challenged. Due to the rigours of the A Level Mathematics course, all students will be expected to complete an A Level preparation booklet submitted upon return after the summer break. Students will also be assessed with a ‘Bridging the Gap’ test within the first two weeks of term to ascertain their suitability for the course.

How you'll be assessed

All course content is examined at the end of the two-year course. The assessment consists of four externally examined papers. Calculators can be used. Paper 1: Core Pure Mathematics 1. 1 hour 30 minutes. 25% of final marks. Paper 2: Core Pure Mathematics 2. 1 hour 30 minutes. 25% of final marks. Paper 3: Further Mechanics 1. 1 hour 30 minutes. 25% of final marks. Paper 4: Decision Mathematics. 1 hour 30 minutes. 25% of final marks.
