Master's Degree in Robotics or Computer Science for a Career in AI/SWE in London?

Hi everyone,

I’m a British citizen who recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. I’ve been studying abroad for my undergraduate degree, and I plan to continue studying abroad for my master’s as well.

I’m currently torn between pursuing a master’s degree in Robotics or Computer Science, as both seem to offer similar courses in areas like programming and machine learning. My ultimate goal is to move to London after completing my studies and work in fields like Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Software Engineering (SWE).

From your experience, which degree would provide better opportunities and skill development for these roles? Would a master’s in Robotics still make me competitive for software-focused positions, or would a Computer Science degree offer more versatility in the London tech job market?

I’d greatly appreciate any insights or advice from people working in these fields or hiring for these roles
