What Is the Best University in Europe for MS in Computer Science?

In the EU there isn't much of a ranking of Universities. It's practically more of a good-uni-with-proper-acceditation vs. the rest. At the same time, almost no company really cares what school you went to or what it was called.

The only real choice or 'best' is the surrounding ecosystem. Going to a university that has no internet connection will still get you the same information and skills but for most people having no internet isn't all that fun. Same goes for studying somewhere very cold when you like warm days, or somewhere warm when you like it cold.

If you want something 'extra' (which again, no company cares about) like prestige, you can make a list of all the places that have your preference to be (climate, language etc.) and then check what 'extra' things they have, like solar cars or public-private AI partnerships, or military applications or space/esa connections. It won't do you much good if that extra experience has nothing to do with what your goals are, and you can gain that experience without a university just fine.

Perhaps some context in the origins of your thinking/culture would be best. Most people assume USA mindset when this type of question gets asked.

1. ETH Zurich 2. EPFL 3. Cambridge 4. Oxford 5. Imperial College London 6. TU Munich 7. TU Delft 8. KTH Sweden

PS: I have a MS CS from one of the above.

> Which do you think are the best universities in Europe, for a MS in the various fields of Computer Science?

I can only name the best two that are worthy of this for a Masters degree in Computer Science or similar.

Even 10 years later, it is still both Imperial College and Cambridge University in that order.

In Greece the most famous one is CEID. Has produced quite a few strong engineers. No tuitions for Europeans, but classes are in Greek and the entry exam is a bit hard.

That said, I’ve worked with strong engineers that came from unknown universities. Loving what you do can get you far.

I heard great things about both, Copenhagen and Saarbrücken

My uni in Slovakia, Zilina.

just kidding, Aalborg.

University of Warsaw

University of Edinburgh

ETH Zurich

TU Munich

EPFL

Cambridge/Oxford are very overrated imho. I have a masters from one of them.
