Uni and a levels

I do bio psychology and computer science
i wanted to do medicine or have a nice paying cyber security job but i couldn’t pick between the two and unfortunately i got a 5 in maths so i couldn’t do it as an a level. is there anyway i can get a nice paying cyber security job and do it at a good university without a level maths? and if there are any high paying biology/psychology routes please tell me

Hi @yodenzel

You can absolutely still find a well paying job without a-level maths, especially because of your other a-levels still being respected (specifically computer science in your case). And even for courses that may expect specific a-levels they would most likely still offer you a foundation route where you do one year pre bachelor to get you ready for the degree and its a very popular route nowadays as many people end up deciding to do something different to their a-level choices by the time they have finished those two years.

Keep searching for different courses of your interest in the unis and cities you are interested in, and especially use UCAS to filter out entry requirements and find out what you do and dont need maths in and if you find one that interests but you do need maths to jump into year 1 then look into a foundation route at said uni.
