As the title suggests, I'm wanting to know of universities or colleges which do graphics design and/or 3D Design. Particularly good (respected?) universities with good (well-known?) reputations for the level of teaching and facilities offered. This might seem like a bizarre concept, but for example, Aberdeen is renowned for it's high level of teaching and research in Law, History of Art, Geology, Business and to a certain degree, Medicine. While it [Aberdeen University] does offer a wide variety of courses across multiple disciplines, the main focus of the university in terms of budgeting and staffing lies primarily within the subjects listed above.
As some of you know, I am currently in my 3rd year at Aberdeen. My BSc in Geography turned out to be a rash decision and while I have loved my time in university, the reality has dawned that I am firstly, not ready to do a dissertation in the next 18 months, and secondly, my interest in the field of geography has diminished to such a degree that I have no enthusiasm for classes, assignments or future career prospects.
I am going to defer my time in University; as in, drop out, but continue at a later date. It is something I have thought long and hard about. I have had a preliminary discussion with my advisor and he suggests that if I were to go down this road, I should finish the current semester (January Exams) and then when I return to university, instead of going straight into a dissertation I'd have a whole semester to get back into the academia and prepare for the dissertation. It was an option which I wasn't expecting and has thrown me off a little. Ultimately, it makes sense.
My advisor was in a hurry because he had a meeting, so I didn't speak to him about the viability of changing my degree entirely. Anyway, I've been waffling so I'll cut to the chase:
1.What universities and/or colleges offer 'good' courses in 3D design software?
2.Do any of you know what the possibility is of changing a degree entirely? (I will find out on Monday, so not really an important question.
3. Finally, what are your thoughts on my plan of action... wise? unwise? stupid? recommended? etc...

I appreciate that SEN is mostly US, but the same questions generally apply. Primarily the 3rd one.
None.
