  As a guy with 10 years as an IT manager I'd like to think I know a little bit about this stuff :). I also had a nephew who just graduated from a Computer Science program and found a job in the beginning of April! Okay so let me explain the difference. Basically with AI you will study more robotics and programming computers to "learn" this will have huge opportunities in the future BUT, employers who hire people to code AI hire grads with software ENGINEERING/programming degrees not Computer Science. Computer science with management studies basically means along with programming you will learn to manage and teach other staff. It will give you leadership skills. For today's and in the coming years the best industry to be in is IT, you're making an excellent choice going into Computer Science. In conclusion, the management studies option is much better because most of the work Software Engineers do IS done in TEAMS. Teams require a manager and with the management studies, it would make you more appealing to employers. Regardless of which you chose you're in for a great career! Within 10 years of graduating you can easily be pulling in 150k+!! Just remember once you do graduate to get as much experience as possible, find out which languages are hottest (i.e. Java, SQL, etc.) and keep taking courses and expanding your knowledge. IT is constantly changing and you need to stay up to date.
