and Virtual Worlds
• Artificial Intelligence
• Mobile Web Application Development
• Computer Graphics
• Group Research Project.
Year Three
• Responsible Computing
• Machine Learning
• Project.
Plus, choose from:
• IT Consultancy
• Cyber Security
• Databases and Analytics
• Games Product Management.
2.Computer Science:

And here's my question. I don't know what to choose. I want to focus on programming, but also other things may be helpful. As a job I'd like to get software programmer, developer or something related. My first choice was creative computing, but after some research I learnt that it's very popular and google is almost silent when searching for it, it's like it's a fake course with teching nothing in particular. Which course is best to choose and you guys, did you get a degree in computing etc?
