Should I do further maths for A-levels?

I'm in year 11 right now and thinking about whether I should do further maths in sixth-form because I've heard that it is a great addition for a course in Computer Science at university, but I am working at a grade 8, and there are recommendations saying you should be working at a 9.

I have currently applied to do Maths, Physics and Computer Science for my A-Levels. So should I do Further Maths for A-levels?

What universities would you be interested in? For computer science, further maths is borderline essential for imperial, cambridge and oxford (though none explicitly require it). However, for computer science at other universities, further maths is not required or recommended (that's not to say that it's discouraged by those other universities )

As above, consider which unis you are interested in.

You should also ask yourself whether you enjoy maths enough to take up further maths - after all, it is a heck of a lot of work and there’s no point bogging down your application by taking FM, hating it and doing badly in it.

Could I drop it if it isn't for me?

The most successful applicants for Computer Science at Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial, UCL, Bristol, Durham, Warwick, Nottingham, Manchester, Leeds and a few others often have Further Maths and is advantageous in your UCAS application.

You can study Pure and Mechanics, Pure and Statistics, Decision and Statistics and Mechanics and Decision, if you do Pearson Edexcel.
