Further Mathematics is an AS-Level or an A-Level qualification which both broadens and deepens the Mathematics covered in A-Level Mathematics. For students who enjoy Mathematics, Further Mathematics provides a challenge and a chance to explore new and or more sophisticated mathematical concepts. It enables students to distinguish themselves as able mathematicians in their applications for university and future employment. Further Mathematics qualifications are highly regarded and are warmly welcomed by universities. Further Mathematicians are demonstrating a strong commitment to their studies, as well as learning Mathematics that is very useful for any mathematically rich degree, such as Engineering, Sciences, Computing and Economics. Highly numerate disciplines are in great demand from employers – young people with Mathematics qualifications will find that their degrees can open doors to exciting and rewarding careers.
Minimum Entry Requirements: A minimum GCSE Grade 8 in Mathematics. Students can only study A-level Further Mathematics alongside A-level Mathematics, although it counts as a separate A-level.
A-level Further Mathematics is a two year linear course that will be examined during the summer of Year 13. Similar to AS Mathematics, students will be able to take the AS exam at the end of Year 12. A-level: Paper 1 - Core Pure Mathematics 1 - 1 Hour and 30 minutes - 75 Marks Paper 2 - Core Pure Mathematics 2 - 1 Hour and 30 minutes - 75 Marks Paper 3 - Further Mathematics Option 1 (**see below) - 1 Hour and 30 minutes - 75 Marks Paper 4 - Further Mathematics Option 2 (**see below) - 1 Hour and 30 minutes - 75 Marks **Paper 3 Option 1 Students take one of the following four options: 3A: Further Pure Mathematics 1 3B: Further Statistics 1 3C: Further Mechanics 1 3D: Decision Mathematics 1 ***Paper 4 Option 2 Students take one of the following four options: 4A: Further Pure Mathematics 2 4B: Further Statistics 1 4C: Further Mechanics 1 4D: Decision Mathematics 1 4E: Further Statistics 2 4F: Further Mechanics 2 4G: Decision Mathematics 2
