Further Mathematics

Course summary

Those who are especially gifted in mathematics may wish to seek a further challenge by enrolling on the Further Mathematics A-Level course. Here, a further four modules, made up of two Further Pure modules and two applied modules, will be completed. This is a completely separate qualification from A-Level Mathematics. You must take A-Level Maths if you wish to study Further Maths. Further Pure 1 will be studied in Year 12 and Further Pure 2 will be studied in Year 13. Alongside these modules, two further modules in applied mathematics will also be taken, compromising of Statistics, Mechanics or Decisions. Decision mathematics deals with application of algorithms in order to solve problems. The course is weighted equally between Pure and Applied.
