What is the difference between applied computer science and software engineering?

Hello! I'm going to enter a university, and I would like to know more precisely how software engineering differs from applied computer science? At the moment I am 16 years old, I am in the 11th grade, I am engaged in website layout as a hobby, and I would like my hobby to become a job in the future, but learning other languages ​​​​at the faculty will certainly not be the end of the world. Do they teach WEB programming in these areas, and how do they differ?
PS I know very well about self-education and I am fully prepared for the fact that I will have to study something on my own, outside the university.

The program of an unknown university must be learned at this university.
But in any case, modern web programming is not studied there.
The IT area is an area with a high barrier to entry.
A high entry threshold is not empty words. It's complicated. It is very difficult.
This is even in order to understand how applied computer science differs from software engineering, you would have to learn for a year, because in a nutshell to explain so that everything becomes clear will not work.
On the other hand, it doesn’t matter where you go, the main thing is that you study. For directly for work, you will still study on your own, and the university gives you an outlook, general education, many specific things, communication, and perhaps even useful contacts.
And most importantly, a university, unlike a school, usually instills the skills of independent study and problem solving. At school, it practically doesn’t matter how you study - you will still be dragged to another class, unless you are completely down.
At the university - you can sit through all the lectures without delay, write down all the notes in a beautiful handwriting, but do not understand anything and fly out. So you have to make an effort.
Take a friend with you, go to the university, stop people coming out and ask them about the faculties.
You can approach this matter creatively, take a microphone, a camera, organize a small questionnaire, ask around different students, and even put it on YouTube later.

The names won't tell you anything.
Read the curriculum.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's almost identical.

The difference will probably be in some subjects in senior years. Look at their schedule, if it is publicly available. If the university has a group in the social. networks - ask students there.
Whether they teach WEB programming - then how lucky, but most likely they will give only the very tops.
Outside the university, you will have to learn almost everything.
