Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

The greater depth of the Further Mathematics syllabus benefits those who wish to study Mathematics as a discipline in its own right beyond A Level and this may be required by the top universities. Some related courses e.g. Engineering, Physics and Economics at the most competitive universities also prefer applicants to have studied Further Mathematics. A Level Further Mathematics consists of Further Pure, Mechanics and Statistics topics which continue the subject to greater depth. There is also the opportunity to study the area of Decision Mathematics. The combination of Mathematics and Further Mathematics is a fine preparation for many future courses, such as Law, Philosophy, Management and Engineering, and is a preferred requirement to study Mathematics, Economics, Natural Sciences and ICT at the most prestigious universities. Medicine does not require Further Mathematics A Level. At a time when most students spread their studies thinly, to be a specialist in such a logical discipline as Mathematics is a particular distinction and such candidates are in great demand in business and industry.
