For what it's worth this is my view. Study what you want at university, not what you think you should do because you think it will guarantee you a good job. However, try to be active in clubs/societies/events, do some work experience, try to get contacts in the industry areas you're interested in, and generally broaden your CV. You should then stand out in applications. Obvious advice, but it's what I've learned over the last few years.
