University of Leicester Computer Science, how difficult is it?

Hello. Considering multiple universities for clearing and Leicester is one of them. I want to do Computer Science but I believe I am at a disadvantage due to not having done A-Level Mathematics and luckily Leicester offers a course without needing it.

I know that the University of Nottingham also offers a course without A-Level Mathematics but from what I've heard the course is quite difficult and that even Further Maths students had struggled. I assume all universities have computer science at similar levels since the modules are usually very similar.

Any Computer Science students at Leicester able to tell me their thoughts and opinions on the course? Thank you!

I currently hold a conditional offer from you guys and if I get rejected, can I still re apply for the same course through clearing?

Hello!

Thank you for your question!

If you get rejected from a course you have a conditional offer for, you unfortunately cannot apply for the same course through clearing (as you haven't met the grade requirements and therefore been rejected). However, you can still apply to University of Leicester, to another course with a lower grade boundary.

The Clearing line for Leicester is 0116 373 6000, don't hesitate to give us a call if you have any further questions!
