Ask HN: dealing with weirdly-named degrees
4 by hashim | 6 comments on Hacker News.
I'm a UK-based web dev finally going to university in order to round out my knowledge with a degree in CompSci, trying to decide between London and Birmingham. Imperial College London generally seems to rank as the best computer science degree in the UK after Cambridge and Oxford, but for some reason I can't fathom they've called this degree "Computing", which tbh sounds closer to something in IT support and seems highly likely to be understood as such by most clients/employers. What's ICL's motivation for naming their CompSci degree in this way, and if I were to apply for it, is there anything to stop me from calling it Computer Science on my CV?
