Computer Science or Creative Computing

I have been researching options for uni. I would like to do something in computing yet I the only compsci I have done is GCSE, and i found that boring except for python. Also my maths is very average.

CompSci scares me as people all say its a glorified math degree and that you need to be super math smart to do well in this degree.

But Creative Computing seems more kinder to me, yet, less employable. I do an Extended Diploma in Games Dev / Design and I do enjoy creating visuals, so would creative computing be a better option?

compsci isn't a good degree if you don't enjoy maths and only enjoyed python

creative computing is probably a much better choice, especially given your diploma

it would be good to check the maths requirement and content in the courses you're interested in - you might find it manageable. compsci is definitely more employable, so if the module list looks okay to you, you can considered it
