Most uni's don't teach windows programming. I know Monash has an elective on it, but generally academics + Microsoft don't mix (and for good reason too).

My experience is that most uni's tend to go for Lunix/gcc for their C/C++ coding. And even then, they don't generally teach any GUI api's as part of their core subjects.
