Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

Further Mathematics introduces new topics such as matrices and complex numbers that are vital for studying STEM subjects at university. Half of the course looks at pure mathematics, while the other half is made up of mechanics and statistics. We follow the Edexcel specification for this course. Students will sit four papers at the end of their second year, each lasting for one hour 30 minutes. There is also an opportunity to complete an AS in Further Maths. Students completing this option will be examined at the end of their first year.
