Thanks! And more details... (Score 2, Informative)

Firstly, let me say Thank You all for the interesting and informative comments. You've certainly given me a starting idea and foothold. Let me give a few more details, to help refine your suggestions :) "The submitter is looking for grad schools, not another 4 year degree (BA/BS, etc). The submitter named C++ as a current skill, not an end goal. And finally, at no point did the submitter suggest interest in the "computer graphics" industry, for which you list a few members of the entertainment side. Given an honors degree in visualization, a research lab, medical imaging company, or academic position are more likely goals." This I couldn't agree with more. Firstly, I believe my C++ skills to be of a high standard, alongside my Real-Time graphics abilities. For reference (I didn't want to sound like boasting in the actual submit) - I achieved a First Class Honours degree, with an 85%+ average. While the university was originally a Poly, some 20 years back, it has come on leaps and bounds in recent times, and has truly one of the best Vis courses in the country. So, rather than learning 'Games Programming', or something similar, I am intersted in the more academic nature of visualisation. Medical, or even Criminology style visualisation techniques I find most interesting. With that said however, I do not want to end up a pure 'academic'. My reasons for continuing study are that I'm relatively young (20), and am keen to experience another culture before I get settled into a job. Also, the graduate IT industry in the UK is ridiculously competitive, and I feel I need a postgrad qualitification to help set me apart. Thanks once more guys.
