Further Mathematics provides a great opportunity for enthusiastic, able mathematicians to broaden and deepen their subject knowledge. The course covers Pure Mathematics in much greater depth than the A-Level mathematics course. Further mathematics is a fantastic qualification for those students who love mathematics and want to devote more time to studying wider aspects of the subject. If you are thinking of applying for a medical degree, consult individual university websites to check for any special rules relating to Further Mathematics.
To study A-Level courses, a student must secure five Grade 5s at GCSE (or vocational course Distinctions), including either English or Maths. To study a specific A-Level course, a student must secure at least a Grade 6 in that subject (or a similar specified subject/s). Please see individual course requirements. *Please note that you must also be opting for A-Level Mathematics alongside this course.
Further Mathematics is a challenging subject, requiring a willingness to work independently. Homework is set after each lesson and is an integral part of the course. It gives practice in the application of theory, tests understanding, allows time for background reading, and for learning necessary facts and formulae. Regular assessment of written work gives students valuable feedback on methods, presentation and progress. Further Mathematics students have the opportunity to engage with the Advanced Maths Support Programme, take part in national maths competitions and receive support towards any university exams e.g. STEP, MAT.
