I was the last year of intake to be taught Ada when I started in 1996,
there was a "C and Unix" module in the second year which I'm fairly sure
was compulsory.  These days I program mostly in c although can at least
read fortran.  They switched from Ada to Java which they were still
using last time I checked.
