Hii guys pls help, my cousin wants to study data science abroad and is thinking of taking cambridge exams for it (hasn't sat igcse or any a levels) what countries and unis are best for studying data science and what a level subjects should they take? I'm thinking maths, further maths, and maybe stats

(They don't need to take igcse then a lvl right? They can js do a lvls straight?)

check the requirements of each uni specifically to know: these requirements vary a lot by country

#

I suspect however that they would just need maths at A level

#

further maths if they want to, sure, but it's not necessary

#

stats is not a subject you can take on your own

#

if they're looking for a good third subject then I'd suggest CS, cause you need to code quite frequently in a data science degree (also it helps with implementing machine learning etc.)

I'm not too sure otherwise

#

oh you could look at the QS subject-specific rankings

high school?

#

also engineering

#

HK too

#

for the US they accept like high school diploma or any qualifications that is equivalent

#

but those are usually State Universities

#

the normal ones

#

if you're looking at like UCLA, Georgetown, U of Washington, then you need some extracurricular and decent academics
