Hey Guys,
Im genuinely unsure where the best place for this thread is, but I guess Im looking for help/advice, and its (teniously) computer related, so here goes:
Im attempting to make my final decision regarding exactly which course Im taking at university.
I have fairly good idea which direction I would like to head towards, but there are a number of options and courses, and I obviously want to get it right.
I am DEFINITELY going to do a Bsc/Masters of Science: Computer science.
However, there are a load of different combinations for this qualification.
Many of you guys will have done a similar thing, or work in the IT industry, and know what employers look for (or what you look for).
In the distant future (though this isnt set in stone) I would like to work for an IT company or business offering internet related services (probably not full time webhosting - but Im not completely ruling it out). I think I would like to focus on the software side of things, however, I would like to pick up/expand basic skills and knowledge regarding hardware ( so a small part ).
The last part (although Im almost positive on this one) is should I do a Masters or Bachelors. I put this in to give the option of comment, but Im 99% certain Ill be going down the masters route, and either getting a placement, or going abroad for study/placement, for the extra year.
When looking through the various choices I have, I was particularly taken with a: Masters in Computer Science and Business , as I also have a keen interest in economics, and the workings of companies etc ...
Opinions ?
My A levels (note: havent actually completed them yet) are Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry and Physics.
My further maths is statistics based rather than mechanics (for those of you who are really interested)

Sorry for the long winded question, and while Id love your opinions, I realise its a fairly personal decision. Anyhow, I trust you lot , so would be great to have some people to bounce thoughts off :beer:
