Computer Science/ Electronics Engineering?

Okay so I'm lost at choosing the best major to suit me.
I'm at grade 11 right now with the possibility that I'll be able to enter university from next year.
I've taken so far AS physics CIE, and AL maths Edexcel (with M1 and M2).
I have simply loved taking the AL course in maths and found myself extremely interested in taking the pure modules. The physics well not so much to be honest but I haven't put much work into it and I might be finish the A2 next year so I'll see. I'm not good at drawing whatsoever and I'm not generally creative, so Architecture engineering is out of the question. I have been mad about computers basically since I was born, but haven't really ever learned any computer languages or anything, though I can say I'm fairly good at dealing with a computer and always interested in learning new things about it.. I've always wanted someone to explain to me the registry and how it exactly works coz I always delete/modify keys in it whenever I'm fixing something using a guide or so :yep:
Back to topic, I don't know which to choose from Copmuter Science and Electronics majors, and other majors as civil engineering I'm thinking about. I don't actually hate chemistry so Petroleum wouldn't be such a bad idea, but everybody says its a hard career to follow and I don't hate chemistry but I'm not mad about it either.
So, any ideas?
Thanks in advance =)

If you're interested in Computers, then Computer Science is definitely something to check out. Have a look at the course pages for different universities. For instance, Warwick,

and
http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/dcs/teaching/modules/cs118/
then, wikipedia's a great starting point.

Do a bit of casual reading, and see if you're interested. Talk to other people at your school or college, and a careers or higher education advisor if they have one. Picking a university depends on your grades and what kind of environment you'd like.
