BTEC IT partitioners level 3 or A level ICT

Okay I'm still in high school, I leave in two weeks and need to sort out my college. I have been accepted into both, the local sixth form and the college of my choice. However I want to go to college and do a btec, I know I can get into Northumbria university with this qualification but I don't know if I'm going to get the compulsory 5 c grades or above. Does Northumbria university count btec art at a pass level as a gcse requirement? Sorry I'm asking a lot of questions but I can't find the answers anywhere.

So I should do the BTEC computing? I would do a level ICT but the things I've heard about haven't been positive and it's more suited to office type jobs. I want to be a software engineer and plan on doing a bachelors in computer science. I'd do a level computing if they offered it but they don't.

Computing is more suited for Computer science and you learn programming in Computing so go for it. But you still have to get a B in GCSE maths or prehaps A level Maths for Computer Science just to let you know. Programming is all self taught from what I heard. Do some in your spare time and if you can't get into Computer science than try and get into Computing for university and specialise in a field like programming, database, networking or web designing. Good luck.

P.S. You are right that IT is more suited for office/business jobs. You learn decent amount on IT but goes for the business side more. It depends on the college and how there teach it.

Thanks, I'm going to try my hardest to get a B in maths in the next two weeks. The university requirements specifies you only need a C but I guess having a B would put me at a bigger advantage
