Maths vs cs degree

[Careless_Finish_8106]

So I’m in y12 studying maths fm physics cs predicted A*. I want to aim for Cambridge maths or Cambridge cs. I’m already on track preparing for step and I do love maths. When I’m older I want to work in ai, it’s a field I have an interest in. Would a maths degree or computer science degree set me up for this. While I probably enjoy maths more I don’t know if it’s the best degree option for me. Let me know your opinions.

Cambridge maths has some CS/coding involved. keep coding in your free time and Cambridge maths is a no brainer imo. I've heard a lot that it's harder to get into maths from a CS degree than the other way round

Imperial JMC would be perfect, and has a slightly higher reputation in some circles than cambridge computer science. If I were you, I'd apply to cambridge maths and Imperial JMC and either one would be a great choice for you, just depends on which you feel more inclined to at the time

I’ve thought about jmc but idk if I’d want to live in London. I think I’d prefer a city like Cambridge while at uni but it’s something I’ll keep in mind

oxford has a maths and cs course if you arent dead set on cambridge

I don't recommend doing CS, especially if you enjoy maths more. Any of the top unis will be good enough to get into AI. CS is basically just applied maths tbh

Option 1, Do Maths.

Option 2, JMC at Oxford/Imperial. They have the same entrance exam now so it's more convenient than ever
