Some courses would suggest that you take maths. However, the four courses (A Levels) that are useful for going into the computing field are Computing, Further Maths, ICT and Philosophy.

Depends what Uni you're going to apply to and how many subjects you're taking. If you're taking three plus FM i'd recommend that over computing/computer science but if you're taking three computer science/ computing.

Computer Science A Level imo is better for a lot of courses than computing (wish i'd taken it) but I don't know much about computing :smile:
