Computer studies or computing?

I'm inputting my GCSE grades on UCAS. I got a C in Computer science with Edexcel but the only subjects I can find is 'Computing' and 'Computer studies' do any of you know which one of these is computer science? Don't want to mess anything up

It's probably Computing. What year did you start Year 10?

I'm pretty sure you did this spec then:

But 'Computer Science' and 'Computing' are synonymous. I've never heard of "Computer Studies", but that sounds like ICT or something.
