Hey /g/
I figured this would be the right place to ask this question
Is an Applied Computer Science degree worth it? I am going to uni this september and I have been accepted into the computer science programs at 3 universities. The thing is the name of the CS program at the most prestigious uni is called BSc (Hons) Applied Computer Science. Would that be a disadvantage when applying for work? I checked the course info and it is accredited but I am still woried.
Thank you

I think most Computer Science programs are "applied" since you have to choose your program based on what you want to do. I would look into those programs and see which one fits you best. If the university you are talking about really is prestigious, then I don't think anyone will actually care.
What uni is it, btw?

University of Leeds. The Applied CS route + a year abroad.
The other universities are are:
Coventry University - BSc Computer Science
University of Leicester - BSc Computer Science
Aston University - same
My cousin graduated from with a degree in AI there and told me to pick Leeds. He went on to a year abroad doing a CS related major in UCLA which is awesome since if I can get a 2.1 I can go into an exchange program at Berkeley/UCLA/Georgetown....

It has 1 different module in the main course syllabus and if I choose the applied CS route I Machine Learning will be an optional module instead of mandatory.

So the difference is it's easier.
It sounds like a course purely invented to get more CS students.

You basically have your answer. Go to Leeds and try to get into the UCLA program.

That is a common practice but not with Leeds. They have a complete CS course intake of 150 +/-students who all share a common first year course structure (basically everyone takes CS in the first year). After that you choose an area in which you specialize. The Applied CS route is apparently tailored towards people who want to get into the industry as soon as they graduate as opposed to going for research/PhD but I don't if it makes that much of a difference since the difference between all the routes is only 2-3 modules.
