What you study	Computer Science	Computer Games Computer Science
What it is	You study the mathematical and programming foundations of artificial intelligence and data analysis, including how to build systems that learn from large datasets and make predictions. This program goes deeper into AI and statistics than a general computer science degree. It suits people who want to work with machine learning, data analysis, or AI systems and are comfortable with both math and coding.	You study the computer science and programming skills needed to design and build video games, rather than just the theory of computing. The program combines coding, game engines, and design principles so you learn both the technical and creative sides of game development. It suits people who want to work in the games industry and are comfortable learning to code.
