WHY STUDY FURTHER MATHEMATICS? Students taking Further Mathematics find it to be an enjoyable, rewarding, stimulating and empowering experience. For someone who enjoys mathematics, it provides a challenge, and a chance to explore new and/or more sophisticated mathematical concepts. Students who take Further Mathematics find that the additional time spent studying mathematics boosts their marks in single A-level mathematics. It can make the transition from Sixth Form to mathematically rich university courses more straightforward. It enables students to distinguish themselves as able mathematicians in their applications for university and future employment. CONTENT OF THE COURSE: AS LEVEL: In addition to the Mathematics A Level, students take an additional two papers, one in further pure mathematics and one in applied maths. A LEVEL: In addition to the Mathematics A Level, students take an additional four papers, two in further pure mathematics and two in applied mathematics.
For entry to the Sixth Form (and UC4), an interview is an absolute requirement and will inform the decision to offer a place or not. While general the interview will seek to explore a candidate's academic and co-curricular interests, attitude to school, personal qualities, and ability to contribute to the College community.
