If your university is not on the list then please do get in contact if you know the first year language(s). Daniels contact details are available from http://www.vanirsystems.com/ (feel free to skype or email).

There is a blog post about this subject available here: http://vanirsystems.com/danielsblog/?p=168

If you are a prospective student then please do not judge an institution based on the programming language that they teach. A course is all about the theory that they teach, and its all about the ability to implement something and not in any particular programming language.
