HI guys,

I did a course in Games Technology at Kingston University. Got myself a 2:1 and a job as a Data Analyst for the past year. One thing I noticed was that while I did learn the basics of Programming, I never went into any focus on any languages. It was only when I went to my first interviews I realised how poorly prepared I was. I've done my current job for a year and if anything it's made me want to go back the games industry more than when I started.

Recently the idea has been going around my head, that with the money I have saved, maybe I should go back to uni and do another course, this time focused on programming.

What do you guys think? Is this a horrible I idea or am I moving in the right direction? All I know is that for the first time in a while I actually feel good about the future.

If you guys think this is right could you help me find some universities in the UK?

Generally university studies are not job training. The education teaches a lot of necessary skills and a broad (yet shallow) introduction to many topics you will need.

Often you are expected to learn the languages on your own.

What's a further degree going to teach you in a year that you really couldn't do if you simply had a year to work on something. You could ship half a dozen games in that time.
