Default College/university courses covering IOS development?

Hi, I'm 16 years old, i've been developing applications for the iphone and ipod for nearly 2 years now, i've self taught myself and watched tutorials etc and have made several basic applications which are on the app store.

I have done my GCSE's and want to go into IOS development further, I was wondering if there are any courses/colleges I can go to, because I don't think I can go much further through teaching myself and reading forums etc, but I know I want to go into IOS development.

What could I do?

Also I live in the UK.

Many thanks.

you don't need a university focused on iOS

a Computer Science university will do....

however Stanford should have a course for iOS development

Hello there @Statusguitar, I've done quite a bit of research on what colleges/unis are providing ios or mobile app development.

None that I know do cocos2d, kobold2d, corona, etc.

There is Gamer Camp which is part of NTI Birmingham but this is a commercial course and VERY VERY expensive, and very hard to get into.

If you do a search for site:.ac.uk in google and put in the keywords "iphone" you will get a list of colleges that might offer iphone development.

I know Manchester College (cant remember which one) had part time iphone courses.

There is no dedicated iOS course that I know of. A majority of them will be covering mobile app development as a subject, but not vocationally.

If you are planning on doing a masters, try using findamasters website, or the emagister website.

I did create a list which I have not updated in months if you are interested.
