Maths Degree without FM?

I think that, if you want to do it, it is worth self studying it (to AS, at least) - I did so in Year 13 and it paid off. You can sit STEP as an alternative (for some unis, others require both STEP and FM) so... up to you. Some universities don't list it as a requirement

London Met for example.

You defo can learn FM AS over the summer. Heck, I'm learning (FP1-3, M2) over the summer, which is all I'll need from FM A level. (+/ some bits from M3 if I even get time over the summer)

I saw another uni not sure if it was greenwich that asked you to have a 'C' in A level maths to do maths at uni.

To quote them "80 points from A level Maths" ... that's a 'C' grade right??

Can you study maths at university without further maths A level. I never really thought about a maths degree before but as the years gone on I've enjoyed maths more and more. I also do Economics at a level, could that be classed as statistical maths?

No, you probably cannot do maths at most universities- some will allow non-FM students to apply but those aren't usually the best universities. What career do you want to go into? Maybe that career can be achieved through a different degree...

M3

I found that the key ones (for my course) that were helpful to know where FP1-3, D1 (a few bits), S2-4 (only some bits from that) and a tiny bit of M1 too.

I'm assuming you're more of a stats person since I'm guessing you prefer stats modules over mechanics modules.

LSE maths&econ doesn't require further maths that's a pretty good university.

This is false.. You don't need FM in most cases, only the top 5-8 Maths departments will have any sort of FM requirement - even then, it's a stretch.

But you don't need FM for Maths at Oxford and I reckon that Oxford is quite a good uni 🤔

I've never seen a university that offers a maths degree without further maths.

I'm guessing that these unis would probably still be biased towards someone who does FM or STEP since this shows that they have a better aptitude for maths. the only reason they don't list it in the entry requirements is because not all schools offer the subject.

Most RG universities and others with a good Maths department do not require FM although some of them do recommend it (and offer a lower grade if you do have it). For example Cardiff, Sheffield, Leeds, Lancaster, Nottingham, Glasgow, York, Leicester, UEA and Bristol.


Most of them state that they do not really care on whether or not you're doing FM or STEP, as long as you show interest in Mathematics as well as have the ability to do well.

Lancaster is not a RG university nor does it have a good Maths department.

Yes.. much more straightforward and easier to self teach than mechanics, and the exams can't throw anything extremely weird at you.

Most good Uni's will want additional maths… that's 18 units.… they might not specify will you will stand out and have an extremely competitive application
