What do you mean by higher maths? Neither of my two friends who are doing medicine at uni next year did a further maths A-level, if that's what you mean.

I see. Well, I assume the same would apply. It isn't needed.

Yes it's important, my brother told me not taking further maths made some part of the course pretty difficult, not sure on specifics though

I'm not talking about A-level further maths? I'm talking about Higher Maths(Scottish qualifications)! Sorry for the confusion.

Oh, no clue what's taught in that so I can't comment other than make sure your maths skills are solid/check against requirements

The level of maths covered in a medical degree isn't even to GCSE standard - let alone needing further maths A level.
