Actually I recall now it was fortran and pascal the science and comp sci grads were learning - Pascal was the big thing then - a true "structured" language etc etc but they hated it anyway thanks to the punch cards.... The comp sci guys also had to learn cobol, lots of fun there im sure too...
The engineering dept was just starting to get into unix in my final year - the engineering postgrad research assistants had just replaced the proprietary PDP11 OS with this new fangled thing called unix. None of which was on the course yet - but the phd guys seemed to think it was very cool. Remember the day one of them introduced me to the kernigan and ritchie book, if only I'd known how important that OS and book was .. Hindsight eh...
