I'm in the process of doing my UCAS but I'm not sure which I would like to do at uni. I'm currently studying a level 3 diploma in I.T. The two courses im looking at are-

Computer networking & security

And Applied Information Technology
http://www.staffs.ac.uk/courses_and_study/courses/...

I was originally set on doing networking but for some reason, im really doubting my abilities to do the course aswell as the fact that, doing the same for 3 years. Im attracted to the applied IT course, because it is a mix of all IT aspects, similar to my current course.

My concerns lies with what job/earning opportunities there are with either course, as one is very specialist whilst the other is very broad.

Thanks

I was thinking of doing the Applied ICT course because it is very broad, covering all aspects of computing, whilst computer science is more programming. Im not going Uni for the social Life so not that fussed about that part.
