Difference between Computer Science degree and Digital Technology solutions

I’m interested in a career with computer science and I want to do a degree apprenticeship in something computer science related. Is a Digital technology solutions the same as CS or is it not as valued as much as CS degree?

The content of the degree will be slightly different however DTS is very valuable for employers. CS you will learn extra stuff which is not relevant to employers. However, the DTS standard is tailored by employers to make sure you are learning the most relevant things. So actually doing a DTS apprenticeship will make you more employable than someone who has done a CS degree and has no work experience. If you want, I can send over a resource which goes more into the DTS degree apprenticeship and how to get into one. Just let me know if you're interested and I'll send it over.
