Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

A level of Further Mathematics is fun and rewarding. It broadens your mathematical skills and promotes deeper mathematical thinking. You will be introduced to interesting new areas of pure mathematics such as complex numbers and apply mathematics in a wider range of contexts. Studying A level Further Mathematics is also likely to improve your grade in A level Mathematics. The extra time, additional practice, further consolidation, and development of techniques beyond A-level Mathematics provide enrichment promoting the attainment of higher grades in both A levels. Mathematics and Further Mathematics are versatile qualifications, well-respected by employers, and are both "facilitating" subjects for entry to higher education. Having A level Further Mathematics on your university application is a way to make it stand out. It is highly sought after by universities, especially as part of an application to higher education in the STEM subjects as the additional content helps ensure a successful progression to university.
