During my 2-year CS degree (in France ) we learned the whole modular algebra with groups, and stuff (don't know the terminology in English sorry) and finally, we learned about RSA using all of this stuff and it really was a wow moment for the whole class!

I don't know how it's taught elsewhere but I feel like I both have "a sufficient grasp of the number theory to really understand what is going on" but also I "should not be implementing RSA for a system that needs actual security" !
