Oxbridge should do an Msc in Economics IMO but all they offer is a ridiculously expensive MPhil :s-smilie:
I think Imperial College London should offer undergraduate nursing/midwifery course since they offer postgraduate courses on it. I also believe UCL should do it too as well...

Also, Imperial should do Economics. Wonder why they never do it...

It would be a dream to have an academically rigorous game design course, full of maths and statistics. A gamer can only dream...

Agreed. I'd bet big data analysis of CoD maps in relation to player location and their weapons fire would be very interesting. You could create tactics never used before.

I meant more in game development - coding for a physics engine would require tons of complex math. More complex than in economics.

Ah, I see! I reckon a car game would be an awesome engine to build. So much to consider! :yep:
