Maths at uni without further maths A level

I applied to the following:
1. City University, London
2. University of Southampton
3. Heriot-Watt University
4. University of Kent (I firmed Kent )
5. Kingston University.

Tbh, he's got a point, and a good one. But now that it's no longer in your control, do AS fm along with a select few other modules to put on your PS.

Of course you could also give STEP or AEA a go, and put it on your application too

I didn't do further maths and managed to get a 1st in my first year at university. My friends had done further and got similar results to me I just had to work a little harder when starting new topics...

Oh cool, why did you pick Kent?

I've been considering those but I don't know how hard it would be to learn either of the contents in a year. I've been planning to take AS fm though

Oh so the one without fm was one grade higher than the one with fm?
And why did you pick york?

Offers were: AAAa or A*AB

I didn't like either of these as I didn't think I'd achieve them. York was AAA, and I'm absolutely in love with the campus and the people so I firmed York

More modules, the merrier, but I doubt you need past C3 knowledge.

First of all, Kent's SMSAS staff has fully qualified actuaries so the teaching quality of the course will be great. Also, when I want to a university fair, the international directors from 2 of the unis I had applied to told me they are afraid of Kent stealing their students because it has a strong actuarial course. That was proof they are quite good. I have spoken to the international support, accommodation staff and academic staff on many occasions, they are very responsive and reply speedily- this to me shows they are genuinely interested in their students and that is a university I would be proud to go to. Also, they provide all CT1-CT8 exemptions and have a fully accredited Actuarial Science course. Plus, Canterbury is so beautiful

Hi, I'm probably going to apply for maths, at Oxford, Nottingham, Loughborough and undecided about the others. I'm studying maths, physics, chemistry and biology and will do further maths AS next year (as well as drop physics).

About Oxford, I've been thinking about it a lot but are you doing STEP because its gonna be really hard to get in without fm full a level or STEP/AEA. How do you reason?

No, I'm not doing STEP. They don't put you at a disadvantage for not studying further maths, if it isn't offered at your school.

Oh I see, at the moment, Nottingham is my favourite with York and Sheffield second, that may change when I go and see them if I get offers. But I thought York's maths offer was AAB

I was applying for joint honours with computer science sorry for the confusion!
Nottingham is a very lovely campus, if their offer was better I may have been tempted. York and Sheffield are the two I firmed though, so I am very biased about them

It's offered at my school.

Really, has anyone you know learnt either in a year?
