Hey
Probably not much help but I also have an offer from this course and am aiming to pursue it for the same reasons! I veered off Edinburgh because of the distance but looks like an amazing course! The Birmingham course looks very interesting and broad in what it teaches, and it's actually open to psychology students specifically which is what attracted me to it as an option to move into the technology sector, working in artificial intelligence or robotics. So at least you know you're not the only one!
