Further Mathematics AS Level

Further Mathematics, AS-Level
AS & A Level
About the Course
The full Further Mathematics course takes two years and must be studied alongside A level Mathematics. However, you may decide that the AS qualification as an enhancement is more appropriate for continuing a subject you enjoy rather than a subject you need for higher education and your future career. As with A Level Mathematics, you study six modules (four pure and two applications) with the AS qualification based upon three modules.
The applications modules will allow you to continue your studies in Decision Mathematics, Statistics or Mechanics. The pure mathematics modules will introduce you to complex number theory, solving differential equations and matrix algebra. You will work in a small group of highly motivated students.
Course Aims
This course aims to give you an opportunity to experience a greater breadth of mathematics than is possible by studying single-subject A2 Mathematics alone. It will also prepare you for any higher education degree with a substantial mathematical content.
What are the entry requirements?
How is the course assessed?
Each module will be assessed by external examination. An AS qualification will be awarded after completion of three modules.
Fees
No Course Fees for Under 19's. Over 19's must pay, or claim Level 2 or Level 3 Entitlement for FREE courses .
What next?
You can progress to a career in the Physical Sciences or Engineering, although a good A2 or AS grade in Further Mathematics is likely to impress any employer or university admissions tutor.
