Potential uni courses
I’m really struggling on what university courses to do. I’m currently studying history and biology Alevels and an information technologies BTEC. I want to try and do something with IT but not a lot of coding or maths, and maybe work in business but a high paying job. I’m really interested in art and design but not enough to do something like graphic design and I would like to have the potential to work abroad in the future with the job that getting a degree in this course could potentially give me.
Without Maths A or AS level you are going to struggle finding a sensible course combining both Business and any form of IT - and even if you do find one, the course and any potential jobs will include 'maths or coding' or statistics/data.
You might like to look at more unusual subject combinations, that will avoid the maths content/requirement and incorporate a 'creative' element :
History and Business Management BA (Hons) - Joint Honours - University of Derby
Business of the Creative Industries (BA) - Undergraduate, University of York
Business and Management (Festivals and Events) - Bath Spa University
BA (Hons) Design Management | UAL (arts.ac.uk)
BSc (Hons) Digital Marketing | Ravensbourne University London
Many degrees have 'study abroad' options - including countries where you don't need a language qualification. - some even incorporate work placements overseas
Something else worth look at is the Foundation Diploma in Art and Design as a link between school and Uni - you don't need to be 'good at art' - Art & Design Foundation Diplomas (Art foundation) (thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk)

Hi @Cerise01 I hope you're well. I'm a Graphic Design student at Norwich University of the Arts, and know that trying to choose the right course for you can be a really tough decision. Based on your interests, I was wondering whether you'd looked into courses such as 'Creative Computing' or 'Creative Technology with Robotics'? These are both courses that you can read more about here: Norwich Uni Arts courses. Alternatively, you can request for one of our prospectuses for free: Norwich Uni Arts prospectus
I wish you luck in course finding!
