London Universities

I hope everyone is doing well.

I'm currently exploring options for universities in London and was wondering if you have any recommendations. I'm particularly interested in finding universities that don't require a 6 in math but are still considered decent.

The GCSE Maths requirement will vary by course. What course are you hoping to study?

Computer science is a Maths heavy course and in many universities it is basically a Maths degree. Most leading universities require grade A at A level. Below that a higher grade at GCSE Maths is sometimes accepted. If you dont have at least grade 6 you will struggle to find a decent university. You might be better looking for a different subject.

I prepared this list a few years ago of universities of universities not at the time requiring A levels for CS and their GCSE requirements.
