I would recommend doing maths instead of business or psychology, it’s more valued and appreciated especially for computer science maybe even do further maths or physics if you’re capable.

But it’s not just about your a levels, experience and super curricular activities also matter a ton so try to focus on that too!

Some may require maths and if comp sci is your area of interest then maths will open a lot of options for you later. If youre working at a grade 7 or above in gcse maths then strongly consider doing maths, if not then see if your school offers core maths to take alongside your a levels. Your subject combo is fine as is apart from the lack of maths, ideally if you want to do comp sci you will have maths and 2 other subjects with further maths if you are aiming to keep your options open as much as possible.
