The University Of Bristol doesn't require A-Level maths (though it is preferred). Ranked 3rd for CS in the Times. <http://extras.timesonline.co.uk/gug/gooduniversityguide.php?AC_sub=Computer+Science&x=6&y=10&sub=6> (behind Cambridge and Oxford). The requirements listed by Universities are sometimes only guidelines. Your best bet is to contact someone from University Admissions and talk to them about whether you really would require A-Level maths. For Bristol you can email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unfortunately CS can contain quite a bit of Maths depending on the modules taken. Is it more a case of you don't like (or find Maths difficult), or a case of you just didn't chose that particular course and so don't have the background? If it's the latter case then it may not be too much of a problem as lecturers will often go over the basics that you actually need (and some of the Maths will be entirely knew to everyone). However I will stress, All Universities are different, what they offer in their courses do vary so do contact them and speak with someone who knows the specifics of the individual courses. hope that's of some use to you.
