Do I need to have studied A level Further Mathematics?

No, our standard entry requirements can be fulfilled with just Mathematics A level, provided you manage to achieve an A* in that subject.

Further Mathematics is a subject that is very relevant to our degree programmes, so candidates who offer this or similarly relevant subjects are at an advantage provided the grades obtained or predicted are high enough. So, offering e.g. Mathematics, Economics at A*A* would be preferable to offering Mathematics, Further Mathematics at A*A.
