Oxford choice - MATHS or MATHS & CS

Hello everyone,

I am a current year 12 student interested in doing either maths or computer science at University, and my top choice is Oxford.

As it is based mathematics, I will have to do the MAT exam.

I am unsure whether or not to wanting to do Math at Uni or Math and computer science.

Any tips?

Thank you.

I think Maths and CS, as it would provide a broader degree for you that could help your career prospects. Good luck.

They're about equally competitive as degrees. What A-levels are you doing? How would you make evidence your interest in CS?
