What next? Anywhere doing anything, without Maths your options are seriously restricted; ‘the moment you decide not to study Maths anymore that sound you can hear is doors closing’. In particular, universities will expect A-level Mathematics for most Science, Engineering, Mathematics and Economics courses. The best universities will expect Further Mathematics for these courses.
