ahh the normal question between interest and job market.
I would recommend software engineering. One of my friend have taken that course and now working for a game developer company. According to him game development is too specific while software development is more broad. You can venture into game programming through the course as well by self studies. I not too sure about computer science as i from engineering background.

In the end, it up to your own decision to make. I would suggest you go to MMU and discuss it with the staff there. I think they would more than willing to give you recommendation based upon your interest.



pardon for my rudeness but what is a university life? In engineering, i can tell you it not a bed of roses. There be exams, quiz, assignments, reports, presentations, experiments, labs, meeting with lecturers of which could be very hectic and difficult. In university especially private one, your studies is first and most important priority, clubs, event, enjoyment etc is second. I have seen many cases ppl are too involved in clubs and events till they neglect their studies and ended up repeating entire subject again. What i trying to say here is don't choose a university just because you want to join clubs and events.

Back to the question, yes there photography, anime and game clubs in mmu. There will be a few lan party event in mmu which people can join. Audiophile i not sure Go for foundation if you really interested in engineering as it the most direct route to an engineering degree in mmu. A-level if you want the freedom to go others if suddenly decided not go engineering fields

as for overseas studies, there are exchange programme with overseas university. Of course, you must be a good students for the faculty to choose you. My advice again is go to MMU or Taylors and discuss it with the staff there, learn what options are available to you.
