In general I’d recommend computer science GCSE, but aside from that also maths. Beyond that it depends on what area you’re more interested in – if you prefer hardware to software perhaps a technical GCSE (e.g. design & technology or physics) may also suit you. If you prefer data science then I recommend that you get very comfortable with statistics maths.
Mathematics and English are a basic requirement for most jobs in technology. You aren’t expected to get a 9, but a better grade in these can aid you in applications. A-levels/BTEC/equivalent and University have higher importance but at the graduate level you will likely be asked about GCSE’s. I’d recommend having a relevant subject too such as Computing, IT or similar.
