What the college says

NATURE OF EXAMINATION There will be 3 x 2hour exams at the end of Year 13, covering further pure mathematics, and additional applied mathematics topics taken from mechanics, and discrete mathematics. This is a subject for very able mathematicians. It is taken as a SECOND A level along with Mathematics. If you wish to study Mathematics at University, then you should do Further Mathematics. Generally, the harder the university to get into, the more desirable Further Mathematics becomes. Physics, engineering, economics and related courses in Higher Education can all involve difficult mathematics so if you are strong in mathematics and firmly intend to specialise in these subjects, Further Mathematics should be considered as an option. Some universities are now requiring a qualification in Further Mathematics for entry into these subjects.
