by fudgesundaeIs this really a requirement? I know people who have gone to Bristol, Warwick, Bath and UCL without FM A level.
I think LSE and Cambridge do state that it is a preferred A level.

by RegentIn terms of mathematical content, all these subjects are similar (Economics, Physics, Chemistry, CompSci and Engineering).
However, from what I've seen so far, Economics at the lower-tier universities isn't as mathematical at all. Don't know about the other courses though.

Most top unis require A Level Maths and Further Maths as prerequisites for entry. Is this the case with Chemistry?
he was saying most top unis ask for FM for Economics entry. I was just showing that barely anywhere does.

It may not be a prerequisite but it's strongly recommended.

If you're considering Actuarial Roles, I'd suggest Actuarial Science as a semi-numerate degree. It still keeps your options open for non-actuarial roles, but can exempt you from about half the exams needed to become a qualified actuary, should you decide to go down that path.

No it isn't. Like I said, apart from LSE and Cambridge I can't think of anywhere that strongly recommends FM for Economics.

by BloodbathI think Chemistry is more numerate than economics but the others are more numerate than Chemistry. I would say Chemistry is semi numerate
