do i need further maths to study economics at uni?

I'm wanting to study at either UCL Warwick oxbridge Durham or bath, after research i'm still unsure whether or not these require further maths or if its just preferred...Also, if anyone has had an offer to study economics at any of these, please can you say whether or not they specified an A* in maths
Further Maths is never a requirement for Economics but it's nice to have.

EDIT: Regarding lolatmaths reply, only some colleges require the AS. I don't know which ones but you can probably find out on their website.

For Cambridge you need further maths to at least AS level, in general though i would recommend it and competitive applicants tend to have it to at least AS so i would take it if i were you.

Yes, do it at AS if Cambridge is an option. Im sorry for misleading you, but it isnt a requirement. Many get in without it but im unsure how that is in recent years.
