Further Mathematics is a demanding programme of study that leads to 2 separate Mathematics A Levels. The vast majority of students wishing to study Further Mathematics ideally will have achieved a grade 8/9 at GCSE. It is extremely well regarded by all universities and is highly desirable for students wishing to study Mathematics or Engineering at university. It is not, however, to be taken lightly: students study 10 hours of Mathematics per week in class and complete the A Level described above (though not the examinations) at the end of Lower Sixth. The ten hours of contact time does not account for all of the extra work completed outside of lesson time too. In the Upper Sixth, students study 4 further modules each leading to a 1.5 hour examination, on top of those examinations listed above for Single Mathematics.
Students wishing to study Mathematics should have studied and passed GCSE Mathematics with at least a grade 6 (most students will have achieved a 7, 8 or a 9 ). Students who found that they had to work very hard in order to obtain a 6 grade may find it difficult coping with the speed of development of ideas at A Level. It is important that you really enjoy Mathematics as a subject and in particular algebra.
