What you will study
Core Pure Mathematics:
Applied Mathematics, through Further Mechanics and Decision Mathematics:
- the complex plane
- matrices
- polar coordinates
- hyperbolic functions and proof
- forces and particle collisions
- algorithms and graph theory
- resource allocation
How it is assessed
Assessment is 100 percent examination, with three papers for this A-Level.
Where it leads
Further Mathematics is increasingly expected for acceptance onto Russell Group courses, especially maths, engineering, physics and computer science. It pairs naturally with A-Level Mathematics and A-Level Physics, and the Top Universities Programme supports Oxbridge and competitive STEM applicants alongside the wider guidance in the Sixth Form Welcome.
How to apply
Entry requires at least grade 7 or 8 in GCSE Mathematics. To talk through the double-option choice and meet the department, book a visit.
