What do you class as a GOOD university. If you are looking at top universities you might find any. The only way to find out is to check the GCSE requirements for the university and course you are interested. A few years ago I did a list for Computer Science where A level Maths wasnt required and the relevant GCSE requirement. There are very few accepting grade 4 in Maths so you might need to resit your Maths. You can use this to start your research.

Computer Science without A Level Maths

Aberystwyth grade C or4 GCSE
Aston grade 4 GCSE
Cardiff grade 6 GCSE
East Anglia grade 5 GCSE. Accepts A level in Computing Science and other subjects
Keele grade 4 GCSE
Kent grade 4 GCSE
Lancaster grade 6 GCSE
Leeds grade 6 GCSE Accepts Computing
Liverpool grade 4 GCSE Accepts Computer science
Newcastle grade 6 GCSE
Nottingham grade 5 Accepts Computing
Queen Mary grade 5 Accepts Computer Science
Reading Maths, Physics or Computer Science grade 6
Royal Holloway grade 6 accepts CS, Maths or Physics
Sussex grade 6
