A-Level Computer Science theory VS University Computer Science theory
Thinking about the difference in content it might be. (Of course, there difficulty will definitely have a difference.)
From what I've seen from courses, it looks very similar to what I've learned at A-Level, especially with discrete mathematics and other things like Set Theory, Boolean Algebra, Algorithms, structures, etc.
What do you think? Or if you're a comp sci student at university who do A-Level Comp Sci, whats your experience?

I don't think there is a huge difference between A-level and degree. Certainly much of the A-level syllabus was what I did at uni in the 90s. That said, there is more to computing that what you learn at A-level. My question to you is what do you want to do with your degree. If you can answer that, work backwards and figure out if the degree meets your needs.
Good luck!
