I plan on either doing Chemical Engineering or Further Maths therefore my A levels are Maths, Chemistry, Physics and Economics? Depending on which subject(s) I enjoy most I will drop one of them and take us AS Further Maths.

Is an AS in Further Maths enough for a degree in Chemical Engineering or Economics?

Depends on a number of things from the University to your personal statement. But yes, you can get into some very good universities to do Chemical Engineering or Economics without even AS Further Maths, your subjects are already strong enough, but if you have an interest in Further Maths and can handle the workload on top of 3 A Levels, then go for it!

Yh thanks but I don't wanna do it unless it really adds any benefits or makes it easier to get an offer for uni.

Well it's a very strong subject, but standard Maths is enough as you're not doing a Maths degree.
As long as your statement is good, i.e. get some work experience, then you have nothing to worry about, just get the grades in them other subjects.

my friend is doing mechanical engineering atm 1st year and she said its quite a lot of maths in engineering whether ur doing chemical, civil etc further maths would help but im sure there will be classes for u to catch up on at ur chosen university

Oh thanks for the info . I'm not able to do Further Maths because the school that I am at does not currently offer it. Will I be penalised when applying to say a 'top' uni because of this?

I think you should take it, many top universities would prefer it and you could do yourself a favor in the long term by taking it.

in an engineering degree you will repeat this content anyway , but it's not exactly going to hurt your admissions chances to do it now
