This course is an additional A Level in Mathematics, expanding upon the many areas of study met in A Level Mathematics as well as introducing new and exciting topics. A genuine love of maths and an enquiring mind are essential if you wish to study this course. You must be confident with the algebra studied at higher level GCSE and show an enthusiasm to embrace the challenges that A Level Further Mathematics provides.
We ask for an average GCSE point score of 5 or above (based on 8 or more GCSEs) to study an A Level programme*. This will include a 5 or above in English Language and Maths. If you have a GCSE point score between 4.75 and 5 you can access certain A Level subjects. We are confident that we have a range of A Level courses that will get you to university. We will discuss entry requirements with you at interview so please come and talk to us! Your average GCSE score will include the Grades for all your GCSE subjects, added together, then divided by the number of subjects you’ve taken. You must have a minimum of Grade 8 in GCSE Maths. Since A Level Further Mathematics is a second A Level in Maths, you must also be studying A Level Mathematics alongside this course. A Level (or AS Level) Further Mathematics can only be taken as a fourth A Level course to complement the three main subject choices.
This course is unique in that it can be studied as either an AS Level qualification or full A Level. This allows students who perform well in Year 12 Mathematics to pick up AS Further Mathematics in Year 13. This is a real advantage, especially if you are looking at studying Maths at university. For AS Level there are two exams: Core Pure Maths and Further Applied Maths. All candidates will sit these exams at the end of the first year to assess their suitability to progress onto the A Level course. For A Level there are four exams: two Core Pure papers and two Further Applied papers. The content from both years of study are examined in these papers.
