Further Mathematics AS/A Level

A Level Further Mathematics is a qualification that is highly-regarded by the Russell Group universities. Students who study Further Maths will have a distinct advantage over others applying for maths or science-related courses at university level.

Description

The A Level Further Mathematics course introduces topics that aren't included in the A Level Mathematics syllabus. You will also have the opportunity to choose applied modules to study at a higher level than A Level Mathematics allows.

You will also be taught how to use the mathematics software Autograph as well as the more advanced uses of a graphical calculator.

A high percentage of our students gain high marks in the coursework elements of their assessment.

What will I study?

You will undertake two pure mathematics units and four applied mathematics units. In the first year of the course, the units will be Further Pure 1, Decision 1 and another of your choosing. The second year comprises Further Pure 2, Numerical Methods and one more applied unit of your choice.

What else can I do?

The A Level Further Mathematics course will combine well with any science, ICT or business studies courses.

What does the course lead to?

Further Mathematics is useful for those who wish to pursue a career in aeronautical engineering, biochemistry, chemical engineering, engineering, physics and veterinary science.
