Computer Science and Maths or just Computer Science

Currently trying to decide between a joint honours course or just doing computer science - I love maths, which is what had drawn me towards a joint degree in the first place, and I thought it may put me in a better light to employers. However, I'm concerned that I'd lose out on too much CS and instead be put behind. I know I want to go into cyber security, so I've been told I may as well just do computer science.

My predicted grades are A*A*A* and I'm studying Maths, Further Maths and English Lit.

With those grades why not go for this course - https://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/ug/courses/computing-department/meng-computing-security-reliability/

Even though it's not a joint honours, at Imperial you'll still be doing a lot of maths and its a GCHQ certified Cyber Security degree

don't want to study in London - also visited imperial on an open day and they seemed really stuck up. thanks though, does look like a cool course.

Fair enough, I wouldn't worry too much about the joint honours, if you want to do half maths then I reckon do it, if you pick the right comp sci modules then you'll be fine.

If you're set on cyber though, it's worth checking out the GCHQ/NCSC certified courses too. Royal Holloway and Southampton do Comp sci courses with specialisation in cyber/information security that are certified. Warwick also do a BSc in Cyber Security that is certified but that one likely won't have as much maths as comp sci.
