I'm a UK student who will soon be going to university and would like some advice from people who have already done this on what course to take.
I really enjoy the theoretical side of computer science, especially the more mathematical concepts. I do enjoy the other area such as algorithm design and programming as a hobby, but I wouldn't really want to be a programmer/tech support/algorithm designer as a job. Those sort of jobs are just not for me. I would prefer a research type job, maybe in quantum computing. I currently' finishing my A-levels in physics and further maths, and I'm expecting A*s in both fields.
Sorry if all this is a bit vague, but I would like some ideas from people about what the best degree is to take to get where I want, and what sort of jobs are out there. Also, if anyone knows what's the bestsome universities in UK university to study this sort of thing at , I'd very much appreciate the advice.
