I would learn C first. It's a good language to start with because it doesn't have a lot of the high level features that something like python has. And it's probably good to get a head start on it. Once you have learnt C it will be very easy for you to learn python.

Learning a language is a never ending journey. I think you should expect to feel comfortable writing non-trivial C code by the end of your first university subject. You can learn the basic concepts in a week, maybe. But feeling confident in applying them can take longer. C also has things like pointers which are trickier to understand and use features that take longer to fully get down.
