Can I apply for computer science with these AS levels?

I'm currently taking economics, law and psychology at AS level

Will I get an offer if I apply for computer science, given the fact I haven't taken any computer related subject but express interest to study it in my personal statement?

Also I have looked at computer science degrees on UCAS and only a selected few (e.g. imperial etc) require maths at A-level
Sorry, but you really do need maths for a computer science course have a look at this thread if you don't believe me

Unless you apply to a uni with subject requirements you will be considered with everyone else :smile:. Write a good PS.

Unis that absolutely require Maths are Top 10 or maybe Top 15 unis.
I know people who are studying CS at Russel Group unis without Maths.

Op, I would email unis and ask

Don't want to hijack this thread, but what about Computing at A/AS-Level? Would I still need Maths to study Computer Science?

Depends on the Uni.
