Are you considering studying mathematics (or a highly numerate subject) at degree level? Are you the type of person who questions why something is true or how certain mathematical methods came about? If so, then Further Mathematics may be the course for you. We will study different types of mathematics: from imaginary numbers and hyperbolic functions to conics and matrices. You will also have the chance to study further topics in statistics and discrete mathematics - the study of networks, graphs and game theory. You will need excellent algebra skills and a deep interest in mathematics. To study this qualification you must also study A Level Mathematics.
GCSE Mathematics (essential) GCSE Statistics L2 Certificate in Further Mathematics Minimum of a Grade 8 in GCSE Mathematics with very strong algebraic manipulation skills.
Assessment is by examinations. There are three papers, taken at the end of year 13: two pure papers and one applied paper (statistics and discrete). Each paper is 2 hours and worth 100 marks (equally weighted). Regular Praising Stars assessments will take place on specific topics to help provide an indication of attainment and provide feedback for students to allow them to improve. Students may take AS Level Further Mathematics at the end of Year 12 if they wish.
