Further Mathematics

Course summary

Further Mathematics provides a great opportunity for enthusiastic, able mathematicians to broaden and deepen their subject knowledge and mathematical reasoning. The course covers pure mathematics in much greater depth than the A-Level mathematics course and adds a range of optional modules from which students can choose in Year 13. Further Mathematics is a fantastic qualification for those students who love mathematics, especially students who are considering STEM courses at university; if you are thinking of applying for a medical degree, consult individual university websites to check for any special rules relating to Further Mathematics. Please note that you must also be opting for A-Level Mathematics alongside this course. You can choose Further Mathematics as either a third A-Level, or as a fourth A-Level by agreement with the Sixth Form team. If it is your fourth A-Level, you have the option to do the full A-Level or stop after the AS in Year 12.
