Which degree is harder to get into? Imperial computing or math and computer science?

Hey guys,
I want to become some kind of engineer (particularly software) I also like maths so i was wondering if I should do just a pure computing degree at imperial or a math and cs degree. which degree is harder??

Thanks

both are definitely harder since its imperial they will be more complicated maths but I think if u do the actual maths it would have more complexity then computer science ygm

When you ask which is harder that is very subjective and only something that you can answer. Take the degree that plays to your strengths and is likely to give you the best grade.

You might also want to consider going for the Meng rather than the Beng as part of the Meng includes an Industrial Placement - experience in the industry will help when you are job hunting. Also, in the computer industry having a Masters looks a lot better on your CV than a Bachelors.
