Further Maths
Further Maths adds both breadth and depth to the study of Maths and introduces topics such as complex numbers and linear programming that are important parts of university study in many subjects.
If you enjoy Maths, it provides a challenge and a chance to explore new and/or more sophisticated mathematical concepts. It makes the transition from sixth form to university courses, which are
mathematically rich, that much easier as more of the first year course content will be familiar. It enables students to distinguish themselves as able mathematicians in their applications for university and future employment.
The subject content consists of Pure Maths, Discrete Maths and Further Statistics.
Learners are expected to be able to use their knowledge to reason mathematically and solve problems both within Maths and in context.
Further Maths qualifications are highly regarded and are warmly welcomed by universities. Students who take Further Maths are really demonstrating a strong commitment to their studies, as well as learning Maths which is very useful for any mathematically rich degree.
A Further Maths qualification identifies you as having excellent analytical skills, whatever area you are considering for a career.
