Mathematics and Further MathematicsAn A-Level in Mathematics develops skills in logical thinking and the ability to process information accurately. There are very few degree subjects for which A-Level Mathematics would not be an acceptable entrance requirement. Why Mathematics? Research has shown that people with a post-GCSE qualification in Mathematics are very employable. A Mathematics degree is very desirable and can lead to jobs such as engineering, computing, law, finance and communications. Mathematics also complements and assists the understanding of a number of other A-Level subjects such as Psychology, Geography, the Sciences, Economics and Business Studies. Requirements to study Mathematics Students wishing to study Mathematics at A-Level must have at least a grade 7 at GCSE. However, we would ideally suggest a grade 8 or 9. Examination Structure and Content Overview The Pearson Edexcel Level 3 Advanced GCE in Mathematics consists of three externally-examined papers. Students must complete all assessments in May/June in any single year, most commonly, all 3 papers are taken at the end of U6. Paper 1: Pure Mathematics 1, (Paper code: 9MA0/01) Paper 2: Pure Mathematics 2, (Paper code: 9MA0/02) Each paper is: 2-hour written examination 33?% of the qualification 100 marks Content overview

Further Mathematics Further Mathematics is taken in conjunction with Mathematics and is an additional qualification. It is particularly useful for those pupils who wish to pursue careers in Mathematics, the Sciences, Engineering, Computing and Finance. For some courses at some universities this may be a requirement. Requirements to study Further Mathematics Students wishing to study Further Mathematics at A-Level are expected to have achieved a grade 9 at GCSE or IGCSE. In exceptional cases, a grade 8 may be considered. Examination Structure and Content Overview The Further Mathematics A-Level builds on the skills, knowledge and understanding established in the GCSE course and the Level 3 Mathematics course. Assessments throughout the course will be designed to reward students for demonstrating the ability to provide responses that draw together different areas of their knowledge, skills and understanding from across the full course of study for both the Level 2 Mathematics and Further Mathematics programs. Problem solving, proof and mathematical modelling will be assessed in Further Mathematics in the context of the extensive knowledge which students taking the course will have studied. The Pearson Edexcel Level 3 Advanced GCE in Further Mathematics consists of four externally-examined papers. Students must complete all assessments in May/June in any single year.
