Further Maths or DT for A level?

I currently plan on studying Maths, Physics, Chemistry and DT (engineering) at A level but I'm considering dropping DT for further maths. From what I've seen universities prefer further maths

I hope to study some sort of engineering at university focusing on aerospace, chemical, biochemical and similar.

I'd rather study A level DT as I'm already doing maths and would prefer something different but would that harm my chances at some universities in the future?
Thanks

Maths, Further Maths, Physics and DT would be a much more suitable combination of subjects for Engineering.

Not enough people wanted both DT and further maths so the school won't let me choose both due to timetable issues.
Also, I'd like to study chemistry to keep options open in chemical engineering and biochemistry.

So just to clarify, the question is do I take DT or further maths?

Further Maths, especially if you want to apply to Cambridge and Imperial.

Obviously keep maths and physics as they are the most important for engineering. Keep chemistry for chem engineering and bioengineering options. For further maths versus design tech:

•

Which are you better at?

•

Which do you prefer?

•

FM is more respected by unis

•

DT gives you more practical skills

•

DT has coursework which can be a lot if youre doing 4
