You can move out without going to university

What do you want to study at university?
What A levels are you taking?
What grades do you think you will get (I've seen students say "failing" grades as anything from a U to a B)

I can’t move out for several years except by going to university.

I’ll be studying computer science at university, taking maths (self-predicted U) and computer science right now (self predicted anywhere from B to A*)

what are you hoping to use a CS degree for?

And if you struggle with A levels, how will you cope with a degree?

i’ll just have to figure that out, since it’s the only way to move out this year

It is possible that you could get in somewhere with 40 UCAS points which is equivalent to a grade B in one A level. There are very few unis whose entry requirements are this low so you can't afford to be choosy. You also will require certain GCSE grades in Maths & English....no leeway on this so if you don't have those grades you don't get in.

Have a look at University of Bedfordshire (CS is in Luton) and University of Worcester.
