A good university to get into (that I had gone through) is National University here in the US. Not only is it in a great city (Sunny San Diego, California), but also you learn some really useful tools in the programming field. There are a lot of international students from different parts of the world (India, Romania, Irag, Iran, China, Japan, etc) at National University. If you are not able to do that, check around your area for someone that is an expert in the field you want to be in and see if him / her can mentor you. Also, check out Matthew Moran's book called "Building Your I.T. Career." It is a great resource book.
