Hey, im having a hard time picking my preferences for Uni, im currently in year 12 and wish get into a course where it involves software programming, preferably for games. Can anyone recommend a good Uni and/or a good course i should try for? I was thinking ANU but not sure what software engineering is like over there.

B Software Engineering

B Computer Science (Games Technology)

B Computer Science (Software Engineering)

B Information and Communications Technology

B Information and Communications Technology

B Computer Science

B Science in Games Development However this one requires you to have a Diploma of Information Technology (Games Development) from tafe. Which is also quite a good course to think about.

I'm sure there are many more.

do you have any preferences in the area you want to go to university? Just NSW or ACT? I would be a little wary about doing a games development degree, they seem to be just baiting students. Your best bet would be a proper computer science degree, doing computer graphics, programming and artificial intelligence type subjects in your final year.
