Uni Degrees

[PaulMacC]

Right so I've applied for Computer Science at two different Universities. I've also applied for Games Development at one of these Universities too. Would this hinder my chance of being accepted for Computer Science at that University?
Would I be able to get accepted for both Computer Science & Computing with Games Development at that 1 university and then choose between them?

No, however your application will likely be handled by the same department so if you are rejected for one course then you could potentially be rejected from both if they are judging by the same criteria. Out of interest where are you applying to?

Queens and University of Ulster.

Personally, I'd prefer BSc. It's just a title though. Both are equivalent.

Depends which one Paul thinks would get the girls quicker.

Do Computing Science as it will show you have a wider knowledge base about computing and software programming in general rather than just focusing on Games Development and finding you actually hate programming games

What is the difference between Computing Science and Computer Science. Robbie told me Computer Science is more respected.

Plus I don't wanna seem mean but you will get loads of losers on a games programming course.

Why do you stereotypicalize gamers as 'losers'. I know a lot of cool people that I've met through gaming that are not your stereotypical guys.

Well, I'm hopefully doing an MSc. And obviously being a Master of Science will get all the girls quicker .
