Same at my uni (Dresden University of Technology). The first two semesters have "Algorithms and Data Structures" where the first semester is taught in C (probably because students should have an unobstructed view to how data structures are laid out in memory and how algorithms traverse the pointers that make them up), but the second semester switches to Haskell.
