Newcastle Computer Science GCSE

Hello , I would like to apply to Newcastle Uni for computer science but I have only achieved a 5 in GCSE math and it requires a 6,

If I apply would I have any chance getting in?

Hi! I've recieved my offer from newcastle for computer science and I've had absolutely attrocious gcse results getting a 5 in maths but still getting in because of my predicted grades for A-Levels. As long as you reached your minimum for English Lang and a nice GCSE CS grade then go for it!

They seem good enough for you to try to see if you get in. I'm doing the PARTNERS programme so they've dropped my offer to BBC with my A-Levels predicted being an ABB (requirements for GCSE still being the same for PARTNERS).
