Given you already have a few years of experience which is a bit more important than just a degree (IMO), I would not worry so much. "Computing" is not "IT support" (no one gets a degree in that) and those are good unis you mention, so why in the world would they be offering a silly degree in "IT support"? I have never heard of such a thing actually.

If the company (manager / HR people) you are interviewing with actually think like what you worry about, you do not want to be working there because that is a sign of a bad company that knows nothing of IT or respects developers. We are not mere plumbers (I am from the US and the UK attitude towards developers has been a bit annoying over the years, but it does seem to be changing). Although it'd be nice to be paid as much as plumbers...

My M.Sc. from Edinburgh was in "Informatics" because that is what they call Computer Science, and my M.Sc from UEA was in "Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining" aka AI/Machine Learning. I would assume you will have to do a final-year project, so a line in your CV describing that ought to be enough to show you are a developer and not a help desk jockey. (along with your previous work experience)

But I wouldn't call it "Computer Science" though - if some jobsworth actually decides to validate the contents of your CV (they usually don't and you do have work experience), the renaming of the degree might influence their opinion of you etc... e.g. "did they actually go to ICL?"
