Urgent help required no way around maths?

`Shyam

Basically I would like to Computer science at university but it appears maths is a must! However I am unable to take maths do due to the fact that I got a C grade in Maths at GCSE level. Is there no way around Maths any other subjects I can take?

Looking to take
Computing, Economics, Business studies and Law

Nope, maths is pretty much necessary for CompSci at good unis. I'm sure there are other computing degrees.

Economics, Business Studies and Law - no maths required. (unless Economics at LSE)

You can avoid Maths by picking a BA, but if you go for a BSc, most unis make sure everyone who didnt do a level maths will be at the same level as those who did by the second year

A-level maths isn't required for computer science at many universities, although some that don't require A-level maths do require at least B grade GCSE maths. Going to a university that provides a foundation year for students who don't meet their minimum entry requirements is another option to consider.
