Is a level in applied ICT accepted by top universities

I want to do computer science at a top uni warwick, durham, imperial.... ( im not aiming for oxbridge). I am currently doing maths further maths, economics and applied ict. I know i will do quite well in all my subjects apart from economics for which i think i got a b in. Choosing applied ict was a mistake that i now regret. But does unis like warwick accept apploed ict for a degree in computer science.

Take a look at their web page - it says a typical offer is AAA including Maths, but does not specify any other subjects.

Universities wont look for individual subjects as an entry requirement. It is normally decided on how many UCAS points you will receive from those subjects. For example a student could be taking A-Level art, literature and science and apply for a computer science course. As long as the student has received the amount of points to meet the university requirements then it wont matter.


Er, I don't think so!
It is quite common for universities to specify individual subjects as part of the entry requirements, especially for degrees in 'foundational' subjects like Maths, sciences and modern languages where previous knowledge is built on. For Computing, Maths is very often specified as a requirement, as in the case of Warwick.
