Hi,

I am desperately seeking a degree or course of some nature to help me getinto the game industry.

However i work full time, so the course must be part time in sydney(at night) or via distance ed.

Any suggestions?

There are no generic dgrees to help you get into the games industry :)

Might help if you know what it is you want to do - design, program, art, or quality assurance / production.

ultimately i would like to design games, buti figure I should getin on the ground level and be a game programmer.

Any suggestions?

learning to program would be a good start, particularity if you want to make your own games. Most unis would have a computer science degree or the like, just go heavy on the math and design orientated subjects

(bias of opinion, I studied architecture at uni, self taught programmer (well, with occasional help) and now working as game programmer))

yes, this solution will involve work
