Hey everyone I'm Littleswany one of the CAs for this forum.
I have seen a couple of discussions here about wether Maths is needed to study Computer Science at X University, or can I go to a good uni to study CS even though I didn't take math.So this thread.
I will try to keep it updated be please let me know if something needs updating
Russell Group Universities for CS that dont need Maths:
Other Universities for CS that don't need Maths
* - Grade B at GCSE maths and above & Thanks to Princepieman for contributing these

Kings college london has in fact changed their entry requirements, now you must have either maths, further maths, computer science or computing. no more accepting with ICT, software developing, electronics etc.

This is my list, mostly restricted to what I think are the best departments/unis. There are probably far more.
Unis that require Maths explicitly:
Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, Edinburgh, Bristol, Durham, St Andrews, UCL, Warwick, Manchester, Sheffield, Exeter, Bath, Birmingham, Glasgow, York
Loughborough, Surrey, Dundee, HW, Strathclyde, Aberdeen
Unis that require a mathsy/science subject (CS or Maths or Physics or Chemistry or Econ):
Leeds, KCL, RHUL, Liverpool, UEA, QUB
Every other uni (grade B at gcse maths and above):
Newcastle, Nottingham, Lancaster, Kent, Cardiff, Leicester, QMUL, Reading, Swansea

As a Computer Science student, I do recommend you look into a bit of Maths before going to University. The majority of A-Level will be covered in just a few hours.

Its worth noting that if you really want to do CS but don't have Maths - there's always a foundation year route offered by many universities.

Aberystwyth University doesn't require Maths except a C at GCSE but they are very chill. There is also a range of computer science courses to choose from.

- First of all I want to study Computer Networking and Cyber Security - BSc (Hons) in metropolitan or somewhere else I'm sayin metropolitan because i contact them and they emailed me back but they didnt answer to my problems. All of the modules of all three levels look very interesting. However, I am a bit concerned regarding the nature of the modules. I am not particularly good in math and i was wondering whether that would be a problem. I do not want to pick a course in which mathematical skills are of great importance and end up failing.Please if anyone studied let me know if I should pick this course.
