Computer Science

Hello,
I am starting UCAS and have been looking at Computer Science as a choice. I did ICT,Maths and Ancient History at AS Level and achieved A,C,B. I have had no real experience with programming however I would obviously use code academy and other things to broaden my horizons before starting a course. Just wondering if you guys think I would be able to do Computer Science and if I should?

C in maths - forgive me for jumping to inaccurate conclusions but you might struggle with maths vin comp sci at uni level
Also you need to be doing a bit more than programming to show your enthusiasm for the subject

TBH I don't think anyone can really answer this for you - only you know if you can do it, and nobody can tell you what you can and can't do.

What I will say it try some coding, see if you understand it, and more importantly see if you enjoy it (I recommend Python to start with) if you enjoy doing that and want to find out more about what's behind the magic - then CompSci might be for you!
