Honestly didnt get into cambridge myself because i bombed the engaa so dont really know the modules (and also you're already better than me there lol). So I ended up studying a more related course instead, where some of the modules were directly applicable. The AI stuff will probably help more? But there is room for FPGA engineers as well. The QRs I know from cambridge engineering did more of the latter though I think.

Nah I meant the QRs did more AI stuff sorry that was unclear (I meant latter of your two options lol)

This account is used by multiple people so yes “our” is appropriate. Not all these posts are mine. I still don’t know what you’re talking about.
