FURTHER MATHEMATICS
MATHEMATEG BELLACH
For progression to many courses at university, it is important to have strong mathematics skills. For most science,
technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) degree courses, A level Mathematics is a requirement and AS or A
level Further Mathematics is often a preferred subject. Anyone applying to study a degree in a STEM subject should
consider taking Further Mathematics to at least AS level as the additional content helps ensure a successful progression
to university. Having A level Further Mathematics on your university application is a good way to make it stand out.
A level Further Mathematics broadens your mathematical skills and promotes deeper mathematical thinking. You will be
introduced to interesting new areas of pure mathematics such as complex numbers and apply mathematics in a wider
range of contexts. Studying it is likely to improve your grade in A level Mathematics. The extra time, additional practice,
further consolidation and development of techniques contribute to improved results in A level Mathematics.
