Further Mathematics is designed to broaden and deepen the mathematical knowledge and skills developed in A-Level Mathematics. It aims to stretch and challenge those high-achieving students who have good mathematics skills and enjoy the subject. The topics are more sophisticated and advanced than those in Mathematics. Further Mathematics involves studying both pure and applied modules. All students will study mathematical argument; language and proof; mathematical problem solving; and mathematical modelling. They will also study mechanics and statistics.
5 GCSEs grade 5 or above including English at grade 5 and Mathematics at grade 7 or above or equivalent international qualifications. For international students who have taken IELTS, we require an overall score of 5.5 with a minimum of 5.5 for each of the reading and writing components. For international students who have taken IGCSE English (Second Language), we require grade 5 or above. A minimum of grade B in A-Level Mathematics must be achieved at the end of a student’s first year for her or him to progress into A-level Further Mathematics.
Students are examined in four papers. All papers are a 1 hour and 30 minute written examination. Paper 1 and Paper 2 are compulsory requirements: Paper 1: Core Pure Mathematics 1 Paper 2: Core Pure Mathematics 2 For Paper 3 and Paper 4 the following combinations are added to the compulsory content: Paper 3: Further Statistics 1 Paper 4: Further Mechanics 1
