Further Mathematics

Further Maths is designed to deepen your mathematical knowledge and build on your algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus skills. The qualification is both deeper and broader than A-Level Maths.

Core content introduces complex numbers and matrices, fundamental maths ideas with wide applications in maths, engineering, physical sciences and computing. The non-core content will cover statistics and mechanics to a deeper level than studied at A-Level Maths.

If you have strong mathematical skills and are planning to study mathematics, physics or engineering at university it's a great choice. For some courses in Maths (or subjects based on Maths) at Oxford or Cambridge and some of the other Russell Group universities, it is a requirement.

Modules include:

• Further trigonometry
• Further calculus
• Further differential equations
• Coordinate systems
• Further vectors
• Inequalities

You will need to be studying A Level Maths and have five GCSEs at grade C/4 or above (including English and at least a grade 7 in maths).
