For those who enjoy the challenge of mathematical problems and would like the opportunity to study Mathematics to a relatively high level, Further Mathematics is an excellent option. The course provides the opportunity to study Mathematics in greater depth and to see some of the more interesting aspects of the subject. The true nature and challenge of mathematics only really becomes evident at this level. Studying this course enables students to distinguish themselves as able mathematicians in their applications for university and future employment. Also, as a fourth A-level, students who take Further Mathematics demonstrate a strong commitment to their studies and provide themselves with an opportunity to learn mathematics that is useful for any mathematically rich degree. It is no surprise that the top universities consider Further Mathematics to be advantageous when applying for degree courses including Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics, Physics and Engineering.
Joining the Sixth Form is by interview and on the basis of academic achievement at GCSE. Applicants are invited to interview following a report from their current school indicating their predicted GCSE grades. The likely offer made, following a successful interview, will be conditional on a minimum of 5 A / 7 grades, with A / 7 grades in the subjects to be taken in the Sixth Form.
Students will sit the three examinations required for the Mathematics course plus a further two compulsory Core examinations and two options papers. These cover Statistics, Mechanics, and Additional Pure Mathematics; students can either be entered for all 3, and only their best 2 will count for the award of their grade, or they can choose to sit only 2 papers.
