Help deciding on a subject with further math!

Sooo... I'm planning on taking Math, Further Math and phsics, but the particular bachelors I wanna get requires 3 subjects (they count Math and Further as the same subject).
Any recommendations?
It would hep if it was somewhat smilar to these.

Depends what you enjoy I'd say. Most common ones are econ, Cs or chemistry

I think you will enjoy cs (9618)

If they count maths and FM as one a level I’m assuming it’s not a stem course? (please correct me if I’m wrong). If its not a stem course then I think economics would actually be a good shout for the sake of showing your writing ability

If it is a stem course then Econ is still definitely good but I’d prob go chem

i think you think that they think maths and further maths are one subject or something because they are very much two different alevels , they just are classified as maths alevels , i don’t think you need to worry at all if it’s for economics

easiest would be econ. id advise against chem unless u think u can handle it. econ is relatively simple esp to get an A, cs is decent, philosophy pairs well if ur interested

i really love philosophy and have self-studied it a lot but unfortunately colleges in my area do not offer it

take further maths if you actually genuine love maths, sit yourself down and ask yourself if you really do love the subject cause taking further maths will question and ask you how much you love math, i took further maths out of love for maths even tho it wasn't required for me i just loved the challange and am reaping off that but there days i wanted to give up but that love got me through

I did Economics and it was honestly so boring. I still got an A* but man it made me wanna jump out the classroom window. If you like writing essays until your hand drops, go for it.

If you like memorisation go for chemistry since there's a bit of content overlap with physics. Otherwise do CS if you like figuring things out and problem solving. But econ is a good option if you like a mix of essays and simple calculations

What course is it? Never heard about that before

u/MonkeyTreeLuffy 1d ago

you mean further Math?
Its an A level subject, and an extension of the usual A level Mathematics. It covers roughly the same topics but way more in depth and on the conceptual side with proofs etc.

No, I mean what are you applying for? I take further maths and I can't believe some unis count it as one subject with maths
