A Level Further Mathematics

The 'crème de la crème' of A Level Subjects

Why study Further Maths?

• Students studying Further Mathematics overwhelmingly find it to be an enjoyable, rewarding, stimulating and empowering experience.
• Students who take Further Mathematics find that the additional time spent studying further mathematics boosts their marks in A level Mathematics, where an A* would normally be expected.
• Any student capable of passing an AS/A level in Mathematics should also be able to pass AS Further Mathematics. Studying Further Mathematics consolidates and reinforces standard A level Mathematics work, helping the student to achieve the best possible grades.
• It enables students to distinguish themselves as able mathematicians in their applications for university and future employment. Further Mathematics qualifications are highly regarded and are warmly welcomed by universities.
• Some prestigious university courses require you to have a Further Mathematics qualification and others may adjust their grade requirements more favourably to students with Further Mathematics.
• A Level Mathematics, A Level Further Mathematics & Physics, a match made in heaven!

The new Further Mathematics is a separate A Level that is usually taken in addition to taking A Level Mathematics. Half of the content of this will be Further Pure and the remainder will be from options such as Mechanics, Statistics, Decision Mathematics or extra Further Pure Mathematics.

Further Mathematics is almost always a requirement for a University Mathematics Degree.
