Course summary

In addition to the aims of the A Level Mathematics course, we also aim to give students wishing to study a very maths rich course at university an excellent foundation in the subject and to look at some of the topics that may appear at undergraduate level. Pupils wishing to study Further Maths at A Level should have a real passion for the subject along with a strong work ethic. A potential student should be a very strong mathematician and be resilient in the face of increasingly complex subject matter. A potential student should naturally structure a mathematical argument using equations and correct mathematical notation consistently and accurately. The student should be aware that even if they found GCSE easy and are a capable mathematician they will be looking at concepts that will challenge them significantly, they will make mistakes and must not give up when the topics are difficult. You will receive 2 A Levels in maths: A Level Mathematics and A Level Further Mathematics. The A Level course is structured similarly to A Level Mathematics - Further Pure Mathematics, Further Mechanics and Further Statistics as well as the introduction of some “Discrete Mathematics”.

Entry requirements

The minimum entry requirements for Level 3 academic study apply. In addition, a Grade 7+ in GCSE Mathematics is required.

How you'll be assessed

You will be assessed internally throughout the course to check that you are on track. The course is formally assessed through three examination papers that will be sat at the end of Year 13.
