Comp sci at universitiy without A level math?

Hi guys, I am looking to study computer science at university, unfortunately i dont have an A level math, instead i have just my BTEC level 3 IT (at D*D*D*) and my GCSE math at 8.

I know options are limited for computer science courses without AL level math, but i need help finding out which universites dont have A level math in requirement.

I actually quite like math, so im thinking of going for a foundation year in comp sci at a good university that has math involved, rather than choosing a not so good university that doesnt teach math in the course.

So far i only know of Bath university having a foundation year in computer science, but i dont know any more.

any help would be appreciated ty :smile:)

Hi there, Here is UCAS current list of foundation computer science courses. The list is randmoly mixed but there is a lot to choose from

ooo thanks!
There are some Foundation years designed for those with high grade expectations but in the 'wrong' subjects - example https://www.southampton.ac.uk/courses/foundation-years/engineering-physics-maths-geophysics.page

(PS. Uni of Bath doesnt offer any Foundation years)
you will struggle without A level maths.
