Guys, I need some help from people who know about higher computer education. I'm gonna start a part time degree course. These are the two options. Which one do you recommend I go for. I do ultimately want to get into games programming. Advice please? http://www.bbk.ac.uk/study/ug2002/compsci/itfd.html http://www.bbk.ac.uk/study/ug2002/compsci/bscinfosysman.html [edited by - SteveBe on September 6, 2002 4:33:45 AM]

The courses you are looking at I do not know a great deal about I do however know that most web sites talk about a Computer Science degree. This normally covers the C++ language.

I am currently doing a Software Engineering degree and this is mainly teaching the Java language. I would not let the choice of language put you off to much as I have found transitions to other languages extremely easy. My course has so far covered: Data Structures & Algorithms, Maths for Computing (logic, vectors, matrices etc), User Interface Design (More of a business topic).

The second year is very design orientated in this degree, which you may either like or dislike.

here is a course topic list:

I believe it does not matter so much what the exact content is but just as long as you work harrd and try to code games in your spare time. Hope that was some help
