Computer Science or Further Maths for 3rd A-Level

I need to pick a 3rd A-Level but I'm unsure between Computer Science or Further Maths which would be better for me to do to go and do MEng degree in Electronic Engineering at uni. I have picked Maths and Physics already but which of the two would be best for my chosen degree as a third choice?

Which subject would you enjoy more? Which subject would be likely to get a better grade in? Choose that one. :smile:

Check the 'entry requirements' for the sort of Unis and degree courses you might be interested in - what is essential, what is preferred? And think about which A level you will enjoy studying the most, and which is likely to give you the highest grade.

Etc, etc.
