Possible University Application

[Morthoseth]

Right, i came out of college with a B in Computing, D in Business Studies and also finished the Cisco CCNA course but didnt take the exam (Damn me!).

Now, i cant remember most of what i learned in any of those courses as i have been in full time work for the last four and a bit years, but i want to go back into education again and pick up where i wish i had years ago.

Now, my ambition was to take on a Computer Science course, but having not done maths past GCSE level and being unable to remember most of the practices i learned even then, i dont think jumping straight in would be a good idea!

I'm really worried about not knowing anything about the related subjects and jumping into a degree level course, what are my other options? What other avenues are there for me to take?

Southampton do Engineering Maths (which is basically the whole maths A level in 16 weeks) + Discrete maths in the first semester of yr1 Comp Sci.

A whole A-Level in 16 weeks sounds absolutely horrendous, given i got a C at GCSE many years ago! (Didnt bother with any revision at all at the time, because i was cool! Not!)

Have been looking at Manchester Uni, but have heard their CS course is very heavy on maths, had a few other reccomendations but in truth i have no idea yet, i wont be going until 2010 anyway, as i can't afford to leave work just yet.

Now, being a plonker i realise you didnt mean me. Haha!
