      In most computer science courses, you need at least one of the following sciences: Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Physics with Chemistry (joint), Agricultural Science and Technology.

      You need a science subject, usually Math would be the best because computer science involves quite allot of Math. Unless you want to do computer science in an area of science like astronomy or computational physics, biology or chemistry you wouldn’t need a great understanding in these areas. In computer science you might learn about how the computer works, and maybe how some of the parts of the computer are made, physics might help for these parts when you go into the detail of how the computers operate.
