Hello everyone, I came to you guys with few questions. Before I start I want to ask about the difference between business administration and business management? Which one has a better feature?
I finished school last year and got B in both math and English with few Cs and an A* in other subjects. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to pick nor math or Computer science in college because of my math grade, they asked for an A (second highest grade). Therefore I decided to do a course called BTEC extended diploma in ICT which is equivalent to 3 "A levels" (3 subjects). I can still change from ICT to business administration.
If I do ICT in college, I can do masters+degree in computer science, business management and few other options that I don't know yet. If I do business administration I can do a degree+masters in business administration and few other options that I don't know yet.
My current plan is to continue my ICT two years course then do a degree+masters in computer science. However, I might consider business management, and the other available options that I got no clue on.
Do you guys think i'm on the right path? Or should I change to business administration? Or what other suggestions do you have?  

Computer science is a pretty math intensive field as are most science majors so it really depends on how much you're willing to improve on your math.

I ****ing hate math but I still need to learn it for a biology major.

Chose whichever one you're most passionate about. Never just take the easier route.

Also I think business management is more about if you want to start your own business while business administration is about getting the proper leadership skills to direct people in an already established company. So its starting your own business VS becoming a business executive. At least thats what I think it is, just ask your adviser.  

Be careful doing a BTEC. Depending on the university you would like to go to, some places don't regard BTECs as high as an A Level, despite being worth the same points on UCAS.

I go to a university where Business Administration and Management are separate degrees yet share a lot of time together. You're better off looking up the syllabus' of each course and deciding which you would prefer.  

Fixing English is ur #1 priority

Unfortunately there is no easier route, most of the available paths are as hard.

I believe all universities in the uk accept BTEC, or at least 90% do.

I'm probably going to stick to my current plan because I don't think there Is any better available option.  

computer science is a rewarding choice. But business administration will likely be the easier path. But you shouldn't be focused on easiest at all.

*decides to go with original plan anyways*

I agree.

Considering you commented on this thread, I think Saeed needs to completely rethink his life.

I was gathering people's opinions from different sources, your answer wasn't going to make the plan for me but, the overall answers from all the sources I looked into was going to make me consider changing my plan.
I decided to stick to the computer science path because everyone seemed to agree that in most cases it has a better future than business administration.
Appreciate the advices  

There's no better future than making your own choices and pursuing what you want, just because one might be better doesn't mean the other option isn't good - business administration can still be an extremely awarding field to pursue with lots of opportunity.

BTW pick biology

Do you mean adding it to my two years courses in college? To be honest, I'm not really interested in science and the universitues entry requirements don't ask for biology unless if I want to do a degree in something that is science related. However, biology is the type of subjects where you are almost guaranteed a good grade if you study hard in your free time unlike physics and math. So it could be a good addition qualification if it will expand my degree options in universities but, don't they usually ask for physics and/or chemistry too? I don't think I'm allowed to add two subjects plus my ICT course because, the ICT course is quite big and equivalent to 3 A levels (basically 3 subjects).
I never really studied computer science but, I did do a bit of programming etc.. however, I have been studying ICT for 3 years now. I don't hate studying ICT but, the topics I loved in ICT are also found in computer science and the topics I hated in ICT aren't found in computer science. I also done a lot of researchs about the computer science topics and they seemed to be more interesting than ICT which made me want to pick computer science after i'm finished with ICT in college.
There are other options I can do after i'm done with college that I will discover while studying ICT so, computer science is still not the final decision since I have a lot of time to think. I think my teacher mentioned a degree in robots..? Not sure about the names tbh. However, the decision I have to make this week is to choose the subjects I want to do in college. Which it's going to be ICT plus (if I wanted) another subject. I couldn't do math/physics etc.. as I mentioned why in my original post.  

Damn lol I was kidding about biology.. just said it cause my program is biotechnology(molecular is my major) & chemical engineering (organic).

You'll get good grades in any subject you study, including maths and physics.  

? so if you study for math you're not guaranteed to pass it?

where you are almost guaranteed a good grade.

In my opinion math is based on brain skills unlike biology, it's more like how good you are in remembering.
