BA Game Art or Illustration with Animation??

Hey everyone, I'm coming to the end of my A levels (Level 3 Extended Diploma Art & Design) now and have applied for my chosen Universities (5 different ones) and have narrowed my final choices down to two different courses.

My dilemma is I would like to have the flexibility to work as an artist in the games industry but also in the illustration/animation industry.
Obviously I can only choose one bachelors degree but I dont wont to choose one that will end up restricting me or giving me the wrong skill set.

The choice is as follows:

BA. Game Art

BA. Illustration with Animation
http://wmc.ac.uk/courses/search-courses/?page=leaflet&mID=334000043441130

I'd like to be able to do things like create levels, design characters, environments, story lines, animate cut scenes. But also have the freedom to perhaps move into something like animating cartoons, illustrating books, graphic novels.

I appreciate any advice you guys can give me and am open to suggestions :smile:
