What will I be doing?

Further Mathematics broadens and deepens subject areas covered in AS/A Level Mathematics. It is a separate AS/A Level qualification, which can only be taken alongside the ordinary Mathematics option. You’ll be introduced to new topics, such as Matrices and Complex Numbers, which are vital in many mathematics-rich degree courses. The course is divided into three elements: Pure Mathematics, Statistics and Mechanics.

Upon completion, you’ll gain the following qualifications:

• WJEC A2 Further Mathematics
• Skills Activities
• English and Maths

What is expected of me?

To enter this course, you’ll need a minimum of 5 GCSEs at Grade A*-C, including English/Welsh First Language and Maths at grade A* or A.

Full commitment to attendance is required, as is respect for others, enthusiasm for the subject and self-motivation. There is an expectation that you’ll continue your studies and coursework during your own time meeting regular homework deadlines and participating in regular formal assessments.

What comes next?

There are plenty of options; university, including Mathematics-rich degrees, such as Mathematics, Engineering, Sciences, Computing and Finance and Economics. You’ll benefit enormously from taking Further Mathematics to at least AS Level. It’s a subject that’s highly valued by employers.
