Computer science A level required?

I will like to do a computer science degree so wanted to do computer science at A level, however some 6th forms do not offer this.
Is a computer science A level necessary or required or is maths more important when doing a computer science degree?

You've answered your own question :smile:

Not all sixth forms offer it, so it can't be a requirement and so it's not needed (but certainly a bonus for some unis)

Maths is a must, with FM being recommended for the "top" unis.

Hi, the University of Nottingham doesn't require maths or comp sci A Levels (although the entry requirement is lower if you do comp sci). They also offer a foundation year (Foundation Engineering and Physical Sciences) that you can do comp sci after, and the entry requirements for that are 3 Bs in any subject 🙂 this is the path I took!
