The Further Mathematics course is a separate course which stands alongside the main A-Level course.
Further Mathematics allows you to explore a greater range of topics in the mathematical canon, with the standard of the topics at the same level as the main A-Level course. Further Mathematics is not just for those who wish to study mathematics at university. Anyone who wants to study a mathematics related degree should consider the advantage of having an A-Level in Further Mathematics.
You will study a wide variety of different areas of mathematics, including pure mathematics, decision mathematics and statistics.
Further Mathematics will enable you to improve your mathematical understanding and your standard in the A-Level Mathematics course. It will also considerably develop your problem-solving skills helping you to make a smooth transition on to any degree or training programme containing mathematical elements.
