Course summary

If you get a grade 7 at GCSE you should seriously consider studying A Level Further Mathematics. As maths is such a vast subject it is impossible to cover it all in one A Level. This subject develops some of the concepts met in A Level Maths and brings it to a higher plane. It attracts students who thoroughly enjoy the subject and are keen to extend their understanding and knowledge. The course is chiefly for a student who wishes to study Mathematics, Engineering, or any related subject in Higher Education. What you will study: ● A Level Further Maths builds on what you learned at GCSE level (algebra and calculus). ● Introduction to complex numbers and matrices. ● How mathematical ideas are interconnected. ● Fundamental mathematical ideas with wide applications in Mathematics, Engineering, Physical Sciences and Computing.

Entry requirements

5 x grade 5s or above at GCSE or equivalent. Grade 7 in GCSE Maths (to be studied alongside A Level Maths).

How you'll be assessed

Four exams at the end of the second year of study.
