Going back to uni to study computers

I've also tried distance learning before and find that without a structured learning environment I tend to lose focus. I also realise that a degree course is a bit more academic than a vocational one. I really do want that solid foundation and I do want to simply learn about the subject in depth.

I think this is a very valid reason for wanting to do a degree and will impress potential universities and then employers in the future.

I'd recommend Imperial if you want to study in London. The people I've worked with who've done their Computer Science degree (which is now called Computing) all seem to be very well rounded in all aspects of computer science.

If you want any help or advice then PM me, I've worked in the software industry for the past 16 years.
