Further Maths is designed for students with an enthusiasm for maths, many of whom will go on to degrees in maths, engineering, the sciences and economics. This counts as two subject choices and you will need to have achieved at least grade 7 in GCSE Maths. Most Further Maths students have achieved mainly As and A*s across the board in their GCSEs and the approach and pace reflect this.

The additional work in Pure Maths makes it a good choice for students with strong mathematical skills who are planning to study mathematics, physics or engineering at university, and 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
