Swap from Software Engineering to Computer science ?

I have recently completed my foundation year in Software Engineering, at the end of our first year we have the option to swap to either computer science or computer science with cyber security otherwise we carry on with software engineering. After completing my Bachelors i want to do a masters such as artificial intelligence, machine learning ( something in that field i am not sure yet ). So should i swap to computer science because i feel like that is a bit more related to the masters of my interest and would probably help more, as i have been looking at different universities requirement here is what they say:
Manchester University- We require that all applicants have a strong background in Computer Science reflected, for example, in solid programming and software development skills
Salford University- The minimum requirement is a second class (2:2) division honours degree or equivalent in a computer science, or a related science, technology, engineering or mathematics subject, which included programming content
Imperial College London - First class Honours in a relevant scientific or technical discipline, such as computer science, engineering, mathematics, statistics or physics.
Would it be a better decision to swap to Computer science ? ( I feel like they would prefer some one who has done Computer Science over some one who has done Software Engineering ) ( Also when they mention '...related field such as engineering, mathematics...' they are relating to Software Engineering and any type of Engineering right ? )
Thankyou for your time to reading this and replying !

Hi!
If you are interested in artificial intelligence and machine learning and are looking to do a master's degree in that field, I would recommend comparing the module content of the Software Engineering and Computer Science courses offered by your university.
For example, Salford University offers both Software Engineering and Computer Science degrees. However, AI&Data Mining is a 2nd year module available only to Computer Science students.
What matters most is the degree content, rather than its name. If both degrees offer an opportunity to study AI, ML, and mathematical modules, which would be good prerequisites for the master's course, then choose whichever degree you prefer. If the software engineering course does not offer sufficient exposure to AI fundamentals and mathematical theory, then it might be worth switching to CS in order to better explore your interest in AI and ML.
Lastly, it is important to also consider your long-term goals and the initial reason why you picked Software Engineering over Computer Science.
Ultimately, both degrees are generally accepted for AI master's, although the degree of preference might depend on the university. Research the modules offered by both courses at your university and choose the degree that:
1) suits your long-term goals,
2) prepares you best for a master's in AI and ML,
3) you would enjoy studying.
I hope that helps!

With respect, if you want to make this work, you need to be more forward thinking and strategic than they way you are currently thinking. You are thinking with an education hat on, that is, what hurdles do I need to jump over to get to the next level. In this case you are thinking, which course gives me the best chance of getting onto the masters. Frankly it doesn't matter. They will take you as long as you bring 9.5k to the table.
But for you, I would be thinking about what you want to do afterwards. Why do you want to do a masters? If the answer is because it will get you a better job than a plain degree then think again. The thing that gets you a job is work experience, skills and knowledge applicable to that job, not a fancy degree from a fancy university. If you think skills, knowledge and experience first, everything else falls into place.
