DD is getting quite frustrated at her school (all girls). Doin first year of GCSEs and she is doing computer science as an option along with others. It’s the first year the school has even offered that GCSE (how?) and there are only 10 in the class.
She wants to do something in the field for her degree, but currently the school isn’t offering a computer science or related a-level. She’ll probably do maths and chemistry but was hoping to do computing too.
Aside from the disappointment of not doing a course she wants, will it affect applications to university? Some seem to suggest a specific computer science a-level isn’t necessary but I’d appreciate info from any of you that may have gone through this before.
