Don't do a course in game programming. These folk tend to not get hired because they get taught such limited stuff. If you want to look good to game companies, you'll need a reputable degree (i.e., computing science), which gives you a broader foundation, and a good portfolio of your own.

Stay clear of game programming courses!
