Further Mathematics is designed for those students who have a real passion for mathematics. You should enjoy the challenge of a high-level subject and be open to new ideas and concepts. You should also be highly motivated and enjoy working independently. The course targets the very best mathematicians. Further Mathematics would be an option to those who are especially interested in studying mathematics and any mathematics related course at university such as Engineering, Physics etc. 50% of the course is prescribed allowing choice for the remaining 50% of the course. This allows individual pathways to be developed.
To consider taking A Level Further Mathematics as a third A Level you should have achieved a minimum grade 8 in Mathematics at GCSE. To take Further Mathematics as a fourth A Level you must have attained an APS of 7.5 or above. To study Further Mathematics you must also be studying A Level Mathematics. All students must have an APS of 4.5 or above.
The final grade awarded is 100% exam based. Each module is assessed individually and carries equal weighting for the final overall exam grade.
