"Computer Games - University"

OK, Its 2 years off yet for me, but I was wondering if anyone had any information on Degrees concerning Computer Games in anyway.

Any information, web addresses, locations etc would be much appreciated.

Bonus has already helped me out alot, and has told me about a course I could do in Dundee which looks really good, but I just wanted a few other options that I can compare it to.

Thanks alot

David

Thanks

Abertay was the one Bonus recommended.....

I live in the South East of England but cant seem to find anything suitable down here.

So C++ is the thing to learn then?..... Any tips?.....

I do computer Science at Strathclyde uni (glasgow) and with the degree I will hopefully attend I should have no problem getting into the gaming industry (If I want too)
The one at abertay is good and there is also one at Paisley (but these are all Scottish uni's) not sure of any others.

If you are hoping to do game design (ie program them) then look for a course that teaches you programming languages like JAVA, C, C++, also teaches you about hardware (need to know a fair bit about processor to learn who to get the best performance out of games) and if you can maybe some assembly language (not really taught anymore but a good extra if you know it)

hope this helps
