A levels-is maths needed??

In September I am interested in doing a level biology,geography,psychology but i’m wondering do i need to do maths or will i be able to manage without it? I am looking at audiology most likely post-a levels and the only requirement is biology or a stem subject.

If the university course you're looking at doesn't require maths, then there's not much point giving yourself that extra work for nothing. Biology and psychology are already counted as STEM subjects so you're covered there.

If you really want to try out maths at A-Level, you have the option to take it on during AS and drop it if it isn't working out.

Maths can be helpful to take alongside STEM subjects but it’s definitely not necessary - I know lots of people doing really well in biology without taking maths :smile:
