@julesh The thing I do agree with is there is an emerging discipline of "information science" which one could imagine includes some array of: statistical learning, information theory, theoretical neuroscience, markov processes + martingales, complex systems theory, signal processing, machine learning, nascent science of machine learning + NN interpretability, machine vision etc. I don't agree with the idea that typical computer science is dead or the traditional subjects taught are no longer valuable, nor that it is ahistorical to keep going with this discipline. The main changes I would like to see is a greater emphasis on formal scientific knowledge, formal methods, verification etc. and less on thinking teaching should primarily have the instrumental purpose of operating as trade school for massive corporations that don't even provide funding for the pleasure of dictating the curriculum

    @boarders @julesh I'm going to be repeating myself but I think you'll enjoy this curriculum: https://edu.epfl.ch/studyplan/en/bachelor/communication-systems/

    @boarders @julesh funnily enough Strathclyde's CS department is in fact the C*I*S department, but I'm not aware of the *I *being a possible course of study
