well its safe to say both these career paths are extremely fast growing fields. Both are smart! computer science is something that will probably give u more choice in paths as its needed in basically every field nowadays. However dental hygiene is also a growing + well paying field. Id say either tbh! or even both id say dental hygiene is something that requires lots of work to get to but computer science is also something u could do on the side or learn on the job unlike dental hygiene so either really1
Hey there @Atlantide , Coventry University Student Ambassador here! 👋
I'm a final-year Software Engineering BSc student at Coventry University, and I've completed a year in placement as a Software Engineer, followed by a returning full-time position offer. Naturally, I would vouch for Computer Science or Software Engineering! They have many overlapping modules and introduce programming languages such as C++ and Python in the first year, as well as mathematics and data science, integrating these principles in a hands-on practical module where you can start coding.
However, it's very important to enjoy the subject you're choosing. Both dentistry and computer science are lucrative careers, so I would personally narrow it down based on the following:
I hope this gives some insight 🤗 I would suggest looking into our courses at Coventry University:

Software Engineering BSc

However, it's very important to enjoy the subject you're choosing. Both dentistry and computer science are lucrative careers, so I would personally narrow it down based on the following:
•
Where you plan to live/work: There is a good market for computer science graduates near London, would you consider potential relocation?
•
How many years you want to study: Dental schools typically have longer courses, including supervised practice.
•
Your passion: A career chosen without passion can lead to burnout!
