Further Mathematics

Further Mathematics extends the areas of Pure Mathematics, Statistics and Mechanics taught in the A level Mathematics course. Further Mathematics will challenge you beyond your A level Mathematics course, while further developing your mathematical knowledge, understanding and problem-solving skills. Students with a very strong interest in Mathematics, and high GCSE grades (8–9 at GCSE) may opt to take Further Mathematics as an additional A level.

Further Mathematics will give you an excellent starting point for further study in fields such as Mathematics, Engineering and Physics at university.

Examinations at the end of the two-year course.

Students who have a strong desire to extend their mathematical expertise, and are aiming to study Mathematics, Engineering or Physics at good universities.

Like Mathematics A level, Further Mathematics supports many career pathways — particularly those that require high levels of mathematical skill such as engineering, computer programming and actuarial science. It is highly regarded by employers and universities, as it shows a very high level of mathematical ability.
