This course is for those students who enjoy Mathematics and are keen to learn and understand more and who also intend to study a Maths-based subject such as Engineering, Computing and Science. Homework is a vital component of the course and so it is important that it is done punctually. There will also be an expectation that you attend extra lessons outside the main timetabling framework, especially when examinations are due. Please be aware that some university courses are including Further Mathematics as an entry requirement of the degree course. Also, be aware that even good GCSE candidates will not succeed at Further Maths unless a great deal of time, effort and hard work are spent on the course.
- To take Further Mathematics it is essential that you have gained Level 7 or above in the GCSE examination and are particularly confident in algebra. Further Maths is like A Level Mathematics except that there are some new topics and it is more challenging! You will study three extra units in Year 12 and another three units in Year 13. Further Maths continues from A Level Maths and the two qualifications count as two A Levels. - At least 6 GCSE subjects at Grade 6 or above. - At least a Grade 5 in English. - At least a Grade 5 in Mathematics.
Each unit will have an examination of 1 hour 30 minutes. There is no separate synoptic paper and no coursework component.
