Students will study A-level Mathematics and sit the exams at the end of Year 1. Having achieved at least a grade B in A-Level Mathematics students will study A-level Further Mathematics and sit the exams at the end of Year 2. Further Mathematics is designed for students with an enthusiasm for Mathematics, many of whom will go on to degrees in Mathematics, Engineering, the sciences, and Economics. It is both deeper and broader than A-level Mathematics. A-level Further Mathematics builds from GCSE level and A-level Mathematics. As well as building on algebra and calculus introduced in A-level Mathematics, the A-level Further Mathematics core content introduces complex numbers and matrices, fundamental mathematical ideas with wide applications in Mathematics, Engineering, Physical Sciences, and Computing. Pure Mathematics topics include: • Proof • Complex numbers • Matrices • Further algebra and functions • Further Calculus • Further vectors • Polar coordinates • Hyperbolic functions • Differential equations Further topics from Statistics and Mechanics will also be studied.
Six GCSEs grade 9–4 including English Language (must include at least two GCSEs at 5 or above for A-Level courses). This course normally requires students to have achieved grade 8 or above in higher-level GCSE Mathematics as well as grades 8-9 in their other subjects. Further Mathematics counts as two subjects and will normally be studied alongside two other subjects.
A level mathematics will be assessed at the end of the first year by three 2 hour examinations, each exam is worth one-third of the final grade. A level of Further Mathematics will be assessed at the end of the second year by four 1.5-hour exams, each exam is worth one-quarter of the final grade.
