Hiya! ;D
So I've been looking at doing a dual degree with Computer science AND either Advanced Mathematics or Advanced Science (hopefully going in to the physics discipline) but I am unsure with whether I should put Maths or Science as my higher preference. I share interest in both Maths and Science - so I just wanted to hear some other opinions on the topic :)
Thanks!!!
Edit: At UNSW btw

Advanced science is broader than science (advanced mathematics). If you choose the latter then you're basically being like me and deadlocking yourself into maths. (Excluding of course changing degrees)
So you want to think about what you like more. If you're unsure then it's better to pick advanced science as you can pick a field to major in (i.e. Physics, biology or even a maths major anyway). But if you like maths that much then the latter might be more favourable because you can declare a math major between things such as applied maths, pure maths and statistics
