Which uni shall I put as my firm choice for IT? University of Reading or Kent?
ive applied to both for the year 2015/16
the course at reading is a BSc Information Technology and kent's is BSc Computing and Business Administration
- both have a year in industry
- both want ABB
- both courses are very similar
- i have more friends going to reading
- my mum went to kent so theres a 10% discount on tuition fees for the first year (loyalty scheme)
- if i get AAB at kent there's a £2000 scholarship on tuition fees for each year
they're both pretty much exactly the same apart from the scholarships which is why im conflicted since i've heard so many good things about both of them. which one shall i put as my firm choice?

IMHO, when it comes to a degree in the field of CS and IT, your best bet is either to do a single honours degree or a joint one ONLY if the second subject is related to CS and/or IT (like AI, mathematics etc. - you get the idea).
DO NOT waste your time with a joint honours degree which includes business administration/management. I know it looks good on paper, but business and management courses will not teach you anything of value. You will study an incredible variety of topics ranging from marketing to accounting, but you will only cover the fundamentals without really specialising in something particular. If you want to be both CS/IT and business savy, focus on a single honours CS/IT degree and acquire the necessary business related knowledge in your spare time.
In my opinion, it includes the following:
1. Accounting
2. Statistics
3. Business law
4. Fundamentals of Marketing (the more advanced stuff is nothing but stretching out these made up theoretical models to make it appear as if it is a science)
That is it - stuff you can easily study in your spare time. The rest of it is common sense.
