People who have done a maths degree without further maths
Scroll to see replies
I saw another thread the OP started. I will say for balance that I did get 90%+ in all my A-levels so this was taken into account in the offer, which was unusual as you can guess above, and that since I've done it STEP paper requirements seem to have tightened a bit also.
Also that as above in terms of so called 'applied' modules, that apparently universities have been bigger on further maths for the reason that the A-level syllabus got reformed in the 2000s and a sixth of the content axed.

FWIW, the college I went to at Cambridge took a few (3-4 per year) undergrads who had not taken FM.
My impression was that they didn't particularly struggle - things would be done so differently at university level that the A-level approaches were typically not that helpful anyhow.
On the other hand, back then there was a fair bit of complex/vector math in the Maths (not FM) syllabus; I think it would have been very difficult without a decent understanding of those two topics.
