My college subject choices - help

GCSE results day is coming up, and to be honest I'm in a bit of a tight spot. I don't know which set of options I'm better off pursuing. My options at my preferred college are A-level Computer Science, A-level Media Studies and BTEC Creative Digital Media Production (but we study units surrounding Game Design, so it's marketed as Game Design course). However, I've heard Unis could potentially still see the BTEC and A-level media as the same subject, even if one is more focused on game design. My backup college doesn't offer the BTEC, so I picked Computer Science, Media and A-level Psychology. I want to pursue a career in the gaming industry, or as a backup the media industry in general, and so am torn between Uni and Degree Apprenticeships, but if I choose the Uni route, will I be disadvantaged because I took two similar courses even if the content is different due to the units studied?
