Further maths - useful or not
I want to pursue a career in the chemical industry and I do GCSE further maths. Is taking A -Level further maths useful if I will also take Biology, Chemistry, Physics and regular maths. Do high-ranked universities care?

i think some may require some parts of further maths but you should ask specific unis that you are interested in

What degree specifically are you looking at?
I cannot think of a chem degree where this would be needed so it’s worth looking at a range of requirements for your field of interest and seeing whether fm is ever preferred.
Are you suggesting doing 5 a levels?

I am only doing GCSEs right now but at the start of next year, I have to apply for my A-level subjects. So, I don't have a specific uni degree I want to do.

Maybe spend some time looking into this before you choose your subjects

Id look into specific degrees to see if they specify further maths.
If they specify it than you best take it (and whatever other subjects they specify). If they don't specify it then no need to take it.
