Suitably qualified students may choose Further Mathematics as an additional A Level. Students have 16 periods of mathematics, twice that of single mathematicians, and so complete A level mathematics in 6.1 before progressing on to Further Mathematics in 6.2. Further Mathematics involves the studying of additional topics (e.g. complex numbers, matrix algebra, second order differential equations) and students who are aiming to study Mathematics at top universities will need to choose this A Level. However, it is also relevant for courses in Engineering, Physics, Economics or Statistics. Further Mathematics is a fast, challenging course and students are expected to have a grade 9 (equivalent to an A*) at GCSE or IGCSE. Students sit three two-hour exams for A level Mathematics and four 90-minute exams for A level Further Mathematics.
Although precise programmes of study vary, it is expected that a student would take three A Level subjects, entry being conditional on a student achieving an average of Grade 6 across their GCSEs, including Grade 6 or above in Maths or English Language (or equivalent).
