I have just finished my first year of CS at uni, i know people across the spectrum from oxbridge to old polytechnics like myslef and it seems most places are teaching theory behind programming in a single language and then once the basics are in the mind my uni expands the teachine quite rapidly by inserting heskel, C variations and ruby. From what i've found if you can programm in one language u can program in any, its just a case of learning syntax. Its all based on logic.
