It is possible to study a second A-level in Mathematics called Further Mathematics which broadens and deepens the content covered in A-level Mathematics. Further Mathematics develops your mathematical ability and introduces you to new topics, such as matrices and complex numbers, which are vital for maths-rich degrees in areas such as the sciences, engineering, statistics and computing as well as mathematics itself. Further Mathematics may be studied as a fourth A-level alongside A-level Mathematics.
You would ideally have an 8 in Mathematics at IGCSE or GCSE.
Assessment is by written examination papers at the end of the course. As well as the three Mathematics papers, students will sit four additional Further Mathematics papers, each lasting one hour and thirty minutes and being worth 75 marks. Two of the papers will assess the pure mathematics topics and two will assess the applied mechanics content.
