Help me please - I am confused University

Hi, I am a student at Notre Dame Catholic Sixth Form, and I am planning to do computer science in Leeds University I did these qualifications - Digital T Level Software Development with the predicted grade of distinction*. I did so many things like around 20 certificates for computer science, and to just fill in my maths knowledge I did Maths for computer science - London University then I did Maths for machine learning that goes through all the knowledge of maths like discrete maths, calculus, proofs and more. I have awards from my high school, which I will not mention just for safety reasons, and I am serving as a student representative for Notre Dame college Leeds. So will I be taken as a case by case scenario, or will I completely be rejected.

What do you mean by 'certificates'? Are these formal qualifications or just the completion of online moocs etc? What is your highest formal Maths qualification - just GCSE?

Moocs are not formal qualifications so they are not going to compensate for not having A level Maths.
Have you even asked if Leeds will accept T levels? This isnt mentioned on the course page so that probably means they don't. Email Leeds and check - [email protected]

If they don't, or theywant a higher Maths qualification than you have, look at Leeds Beckett instead - BSc (Hons) Computer Science Degree | Leeds Beckett University
