It depends on why you enjoy maths I suppose. If you enjoy applied maths only, then I would go for computer science. If you just like numbers and finding number patterns, then maths and computer science.

Maths at degree level is very different to A Levels in the sense there is significantly more proof work than there is applied maths.

In any case, you would be using both maths and programming skills in any of the 3 degrees above.

As I haven't done either subjects at uni, you're better off getting a second opinion from those who have.
