> A few years after Uni, I started teaching myself Calc, Trig, Vector maths, Diff Eq and Physics strictly from what I have found on various sites, software and books.

Most unis I know of (I'm in the US) require those courses to be taken as part of your undergrad before you can attain the CS degree. Furthermore, with the prevalence of AP courses at the high school level, many students enter college already having taken some, possibly all of those courses.

Yeah unfortunately mine was a private, non-profit university (US) and I think because of that private status, they can change curriculum to suit their needs. I wouldnt have went to them if I had known that. Whats confusing is that they are an actual University but can mess with curriculum that much. And for almost 50k in tuition..
