For Computer Science, we emphasise that you need a very strong background in maths. Advanced Higher Mathematics is required but we also strongly encourage you to take a second Maths Advanced Higher subject if you can.
Since A level students are required to take both Mathematics and Further Maths when applying for Computer Science, we've naturally had a few questions about what the best subject combination would be for students in the Scottish system. We recommend that you take:
> Advanced Higher Mathematics (required for Computer Science)
> Advanced Higher Statistics
> Either Advanced Higher Computing or Advanced Higher Physics
All applicants for Computer Science must also take the Test of Mathematics for University Admission which requires registration by mid-September. You will be able to search for a test centre in Scotland.
Note that the Christ's Online Open Days (October of S5, February of S5, or September of S6) include online Computer Science subject meetings and the University Open Days (July of S5) include content from the Computer Science Faculty, and do please read the Computer Science page carefully.
