I am an IT student, except that the IT study at my university is very broad in that it covers both the tool-making and the software invention. the last ½year semester before internship is meant for specialization in what you feel like is relevant for your continued study or your internship. so i could take more courses in programming, design and maybe algorithms, AI or stuff like hardware and digital electronics if i wanted to go that route.

Well programming is probably the one im looking for, as i wont be studying design before i start the masters-part of my study, after the internship is over.. currently i've had 2 courses in programming in java, and do as much c++ as i can in my spare-time, as i understand it is the language most studios use. but anything that could get me in the direction of design or a few hints as to what i might face as a designer would be nice.

Hey i've just finished my first year as an IT-student, and i was wondering what kind of topics i should be looking for when choosing courses? 1½ years from now i'll be looking to get an internship, preferably with a game studio, so what would make an intern most useful in terms of the more specific theoretical knowledge?
