About the Course
Further Mathematics A-Level not only builds on work you will have met at GCSE, and will be covering within the Mathematics A-Level, but also involves new ideas that are not featured in any other part of the Mathematics curriculum.
It is expected that students will have achieved Grade 8 in GCSE Mathematics.
At A-Level you will study:
- Further Pure 1
- Mechanics
- Decision Mathematics 1
- Mechanics 2
- Decision 2
- Further Pure 2
By examination only
The units are equally weighted.
A-Level
- Unit FP1 – Further Concepts for Advanced Mathematics
- Unit M1 – Mechanics 1
- Unit D1 – Decision Mathematics 1
- Unit FP2 – Further Methods for Advanced Mathematics
- Unit M2 – Mechanics 2
- Unit D2 – Decision Mathematics 2
A-Level Further Mathematics is very useful as a supporting subject to many courses at A-Level especially in the Sciences, Geography, Psychology, Sociology and Medical courses.
There are also many areas of employment that see a Mathematics A-Level as an important qualification and it is often a requirement for the vocational qualification related to these areas. Higher Education courses or careers that either require A level Further Mathematics or courses that are strongly related include: Engineering, Electronics, Mathematics, Computing, Statistics.
