What You Will Study
Further Maths is a course that expands upon, and deepens your understanding of, the content covered throughout A Level Maths.
Throughout both years of the course, you will study a compulsory core maths unit and optional units in areas like statistics and mechanics. Core maths extends your knowledge of topics such as algebra, trigonometry and geometry, and explores new ideas like calculus. In statistics you will learn how to analyse and summarise numerical data, making conclusions and predictions. In mechanics, you will examine the motion of objects and how they respond to the forces acting on them.
Further Maths will teach you a range of transferable skills, such as to think clearly and logically, and to persevere when you can’t immediately see the solution to a problem.
Throughout this course, you will see how the subject can be used to show what is happening and what might happen in different real-life situations. Further, many of the ideas studied throughout the course will form an introduction to modern fields of study such as robotics and biomechanics, as well as traditional fields like engineering and physics.
Entry Requirements
- Five GCSE subjects at grade 5 or above including English language
- In addition, a minimum of a grade 7 in GCSE maths is required
- A Level maths must be studied alongside A Level Further Maths. If A Level Maths has already been studied, a minimum of a grade C must have been achieved.
How You Will Be Assessed
You will be assessed mainly through written examinations, although there is also a small amount of coursework.
Course Progression
Further Mathematics A Level is essential if you are intending to go onto a degree rich in mathematics, and it could lead to degrees in other subjects such as science, economics, engineering or computing. Some leading universities require students to study A Level Further Maths for related degrees.
Where Your Course Can Take You
The skills you will learn, such as thinking clearly and logically, will be useful in a wide range of careers including science, engineering, computing and management. Successful completion of this course can open doors to a range of careers, such as an accountant, architect, AI engineer, bank manager, civil engineer, data analyst, or software developer.
