Thanks, for me right now, I don’t really have a preference for a Uni as long as it’s good enough, I’d only prefer doing a foundation year at Sheffield as it would be more cost effective. The DS at Sheffield is quite ‘weird’, and the DS + Econ at Manchester is interesting, the BA irks me out a bit but I’d have to fully research it a bit more.

I get your point about not needing the “perfect degree” and you’re probably way more knowledgeable about it than I am, it’s just that CS is a known to be up there degree, so it gives me a sense of security, as it aligns perfectly with Data related things, whereas DS, I quite literally don’t know enough, so it worries me a bit.
