cs at university without a maths a-level?

next year I might go to uni to study cs butso far what I've seen requires a maths a-level... which i don't have. Mostly because I only got a 5 at GCSE. Is there still a chance for me to be able to take it anyway? I'm predicted a B at the moment so do i just need to study harder to make myself look better or should I look into alternative options?

what are your full expected a level grades and subjects and would you consider a foundation year?

B for computer science, B for economics and A for psychology. Taking a foundation year might also be a good option

I think you should be able to find plenty of foundation years to apply to.
