Live online Further Mathematics for mature, gap-year or home-based students

The Further Mathematics Support Programme offers live online support courses in AS and A2 Further Mathematics for mature, gap-year students and home-based students. The courses, which are designed to supplement students’ independent study, include:

• Up to thirty hours of live online support which includes dedicated lectures and revision time (these sessions take place weekly, throughout the year).
• Access to the Integral extensive and acclaimed online resources. These have specific sections tailored to support self-study and include additional notes, additional exercises, interactive resources, multiple choice tests, exam-style questions and worked solutions.
• A moderated forum specifically for course participants.
• Email support.

Units supported

From September 2012 lectures will be offered for the following units:

• Edexcel
  FP1, FP2, FP3, M1, M2, M3, S2, D1, D2
• MEI
  FP1, FP2, M1, M2, S2, D1, D2, NM
• AQA
  FP3, FP4, M3
• OCR A
  FP1, FP2, M2

Students enrolled on an AS or A2 course will receive access to the lectures and resources for 3 of these units. To access 6 units students will need to enrol on both AS and A2 Further Mathematics. Students may select alternative applied modules to those offered. Students will receive access tothe Integral online resources for these modules but there will be no lectures.

Students cannot study a module for Further Mathematics that has already been studied and used in the certification of A level Mathematics.

It is possible to study AS/A level Further Mathematics through a specification that is different to that through which you took A level Mathematics; however you must inform your Further Mathematics exam centre of any such difference in specification.

Please note that A level Mathematics is a prerequisite for AS Mathematics. AS Further Mathematics is normally a prerequisite for A2 Further Mathematics but it is possible to study both AS Further Mathematics and A2 Further Mathematics in one year.

Lectures will start in the week commencing 1^st October.

Applying for the course

AS Further Mathematics and A2 Further Mathematics will each cost £200. Payment for the courses must either be in full on application or may be in two equal parts – the first instalment on application and the second by 31st January 2013.

The application form for 2012-13 will be available from this page.

Course participants must make their own arrangements to enter examinations and ensure they have access to the course textbooks.
