If you're interested, this is an industry-based (albeit, mainframe oriented) degree that I'm studying in Australia as part of an industry-sponsored mainframe traineeship. I think you need to be careful not to do a pure computer science degree. Soft skills are now more valued than technical skills, at least to begin with, because technical skills can be picked up on the job, whereas soft skills, such as good documentation, management, and leadership skills, take longer to learn and are important from the beginning. In short, make sure your degree is well balanced.
