Worth the risk doing a new course?

On results day my firm uni changed my course to a new course they are released and it is still based on the career i want to do but im scared that because it is new employers will not accept me. I called clearing to switch back to my original course but they would not budge because i am 3 marks from the next grade ABB. I do find the course interesting and would mind studying it but im scared that i will be having so much debt and not being able to find a job. im also scared im going to be alone as i cant anyone online who is doing my course. the university is qmul

Compsci with AI is a better-sounding degree title than Applied AI when it comes to the odd CV-screening. Its not like you'd be struggling to find a job, but one will just have the slight edge in how its viewed by employers. Again though, its very slight. I want to stress that finding a job is always hard, and a slightly different degree does not make a world of difference
