At the end of the first year, you will sit an AS examination which is worth 40% of an A level. After the first year, you have the option to finish further mathematics if you want to with the AS qualification and just complete your maths A level in year 2, or carry on with further mathematics in the second year to complete the courses in mathematics and further mathematics, leading to two full A levels. This course gives you the opportunity to broaden your study of mathematics to include more pure mathematics plus a choice of options. It provides an excellent background for studying mathematics, science subjects or engineering at university.
