Computer Science: RMIT v University of Melbourne

So while I'm only in Yr. 11 at the moment, I want to sort out what I want to do for uni before I finish this year- especially since I want to do an Extension Study next year.
For most of this year my plan had been to do a Bachelor of Computer Science at RMIT majoring in one of Computational Mathematics (probably) or Programming (depending on how I like the Extension study, which is programming and web programming). However I was recently suggested by a teacher at my school who went to the University of Melbourne to have a look into there. I had a look at UoM's Bachelor of Science and saw that they offer a Computer Science major, does this then involve a specialisation in that field or is it just Computer Science in general (if so what is the main focus)? Also, I see UoM doesn't offer an extension study in Computer Science, if I did one at RMIT would this earn me any credit/selection credit at UoM?
I should also point out that as well as Computer Science, I love (and am good at) Maths.

tl;dr:
- RMIT v UoM for Computer Science
- Will UoM recognise (and give me some sort of credit for) an extension program at RMIT for Computer Science?

I don't know the answer to your question, but with the RMIT to Melbourne credit transfer, go get in contact with Melbourne University about that.
The UoM site has these two pages, that might be relevant:
http://www.futurestudents.unimelb.edu.au/admissions/applications/other-applications/transferring-course
http://policy.unimelb.edu.au/UOM0369#section-4.6

I would investigate universities other than just Melbourne and RMIT as well.

Yeah I emailed UoM in regards to that, just awaiting a reply. In regards to other Unis, Monash is kind of inconvenient compared to Unis in the city because I would have to get like 4 connected buses and it would take an hour to get there, compared to one train ride and ~40 minutes. Swinburne, while out of the way as well, is my "back up" should I not receive the required 25 in English.
