Oxford University ranked first in the world for Computer Science

5 October 2021

For the second year running the University of Oxford has been ranked first in the world for Computer Science in the Times Higher Education 2022 World University Rankings.

891 universities from 75 countries and regions are ranked for Computer Science. With Europe claiming 31 of the top 100 positions and an impressive 82 of the top 200. The University of Cambridge and Switzerland’s EHT Zurich claimed joint fourth.

Prof. Leslie Ann Goldberg, head of Computer Science, said “I’m very pleased with this continuing recognition of the outstanding teaching and research taking place in our department.’’

The Department is one of the longest-established Computer Science departments in the world and is the home to a community of world-class research and teaching. Research activities encompass core Computer Science (algorithms, data, programming languages, and artificial intelligence), as well as human-centred computing, automated verification, computational biology, cyber physical systems, quantum computing and security.

Its research is focused on methods for solving problems using computers and the design of programming languages and computational systems. It brings together world-class minds with external partners - combining rigorous theory and practical applications. Recent research projects include:

  • A new technology that will pilot the detection of flood events from space. The work is a first step towards relaying real time information from space to disaster response teams during flood events and could significantly improving disaster response operations.
  • Harnessing new machine leaning techniques to identify individual lion roars. This ability, to remotely evaluate the number of individual lions in a population from their roars, could revolutionise the way in which lion populations are assessed.
  • Created an AI algorithm that for the first time allows us to see, in high resolution, the Moon’s polar regions that are home to craters and other depressions that never receive sunlight.

BlueSky Ranking of Computer Science Rankings 2023

Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI received his first computer at the age of eight. He studied computer science at Stanford University, but dropped out after one year to co-found Loopt, a social networking application that was sold a few years later for $43.4 million.

He became a partner and then president at Y Combinator, the startup accelerator which has supported Airbnb, Coinbase, Dropbox, Quora, Stripe and more than 4,000 other companies with a combined valuation of more than $600 billion by January 2023.

In 2020, he left Y Combinator to focus full-time on OpenAI as CEO, and since the release of ChatGPT in November 2022 we have been talking about little else.

“Now is the best time to start a career in tech,” he said to an audience last week at the Technological University of Munich, Germany’s top-ranked institution for computer science and engineering.

So what’s the secret to kickstart your career in tech? For many the journey begins with studies in computer science, now one of the hottest majors on campus with the promise of six-figure starting salaries that used to be the preserve of MBAs.

BlueSky Thinking has compiled the Ranking of Computer Science Rankings 2023, aggregating the results of the four major global subject rankings published every year by Times Higher Education (THE), QS, US News and ARWU (Shanghai).

You can view the results for the world’s top 50 universities for computer science here.

While U.S. universities fill the top four places, and Harvard, Princeton, Cornell and U Washington also make the top 15, institutions in Europe, Canada and Asia Pacific represent close to 60% of the world’s top 50.

Each university subject ranking uses a distinct methodology and measures different things with the inherent limitations of each assessment, so doing particularly well in one ranking and less well in another is reflected in the overall performance.

The University of Oxford is ranked #1 in the world by THE, but only #11 by US News, while China’s Tsinghua University is ranked #1 by US News but only #15 by QS. But all four rankings consistently rate MIT, Stanford and Carnegie Mellon at the top.

However, they cannot agree on the University of Cambridge, the alma mater of Alan Turing who is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. There are over 300 companies started by computer science and technology graduates and staff of the university, and research that continues to lead the field.

Though Cambridge is ranked #6 in computer science by THE and #7 by QS, US News has them at #41 and ARWU Shanghai only #62.

According to compensation data company, Payscale the average base salary in the U.S. with a Masters in computer science is $109k per year, quickly rising based on seniority. And demand is there. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates that the world’s tech talent shortage will swell to more than 85 million tech workers by 2030.

That’s just as well, because tuition of a Computer Science program from one of the leading schools in the US can be over $60,000 per year. In Europe salaries are lower, but beyond the elite universities there are new entrants in Higher Education, such as the Open Institute of Technology (OPIT) that have brought together faculty from the likes of the University of Michigan, Northwestern and McGill to offer a BSc in Computer Science and a MSc in Applied Data Science & AI for as little as €300 per month. As an EU-accredited institution, international students will be able to apply for jobs in the EU, with salaries to match.

The Future Of Learning - Online Innovation For A Career In Tech

So now is a great time to start a career in tech, as OpenAI’s Sam Altman insists. In his case, Altman never finished his undergrad at Stanford, joining an illustrious of computer science dropouts that include Mark Zuckerburg who left Harvard in his sophomore year to dedicate his time to Facebook, and Bill Gates who walked away from devising algorithms for pancake sorting as part of his mathematics and graduate level computer science courses at Harvard to start a software company with Paul Allen that is now Microsoft.

“Now is the best time to start a career in tech.” Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI and founder of ChatGPT ... [+] (AP Photo/Alastair Grant)

When explaining his decision to leave Harvard, Gates said "if things hadn't worked out, I could always go back to school. I was officially on leave."

That wasn’t quite the case for Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak who was expelled from the University of Colorado, Boulder for hacking the university’s computer system. He later transferred to UC Berkeley, where Steve Jobs would visit him a few times a week. Wozniak dropped out of college soon after, this time to start a business together.

But for every entrepreneurial tech superstar who never finished school, there are plenty of others that used their computer science studies to incredible effect. While studying computer engineering at the University of Michigan, the co-founder of Google Larry Page created an inkjet printer made of Lego bricks. Meanwhile, his future business partner Sergey Brin was completing his computer science undergrad at the University of Maryland. They would both go on to get their MSc computer science at Stanford, and from there begin a computer science Ph.D., co-authoring a paper titled, “The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine.” Dorm rooms became laboratories and offices, and the rest is history.

Ginni Rometty, the former chairman and CEO of IBM – the first woman to head the company - graduated with high honors from Northwestern University with a bachelor’s degree in computer science and electrical engineering. This was the same combination of majors for Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon who graduated from Princeton in 1986.

Reed Hastings, the co-founder of Netflix was rejected from his first-choice MIT, and obtained a Master’s in Computer Science at Stanford in 1988, a decade before the former CEO of Yahoo!, Marissa Mayer. The co-founder and CEO of Dropbox, Drew Houston was offered a place to study computer science at MIT and it was there that he met his future business partner, Arash Ferdowsi.

But for Barbara Liskov, whose pioneering contributions to programming languages and distributed computing was recognized with the 2008 Turing Award, the highest distinction in computer science, her graduate school application to Princeton was unsuccessful as the Ivy League school did not accept female students in mathematics. In March 1968 she became one of the first women in the U.S. to be awarded a Ph.D. from a computer science department when she was awarded her degree from Stanford University.

Anita Borg is celebrated for advocating for women’s representation and professional advancement in technology, and founded the Institute for Women and Technology and the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing. Borg was awarded a Ph.D. in computer science by NYU in 1981.

“The presence - or absence - of women in the computing and technological fields, as students, ... [+] inventors, creators and educators, will define our technological future.” Anita Borg, Institute for Women and Technology (Photo by Jerry Telfer/San Francisco Chronicle via Getty Images)

Outside the U.S., Ma Huateng (Pony Ma), co-founder and CEO of Tencent, one of the most valuable companies in Asia, received a BSc in computer science from Shenzen University. He is the first citizen from China to enter Forbes’ top 10 richest list.

And when it comes to widely-used programming languages, Python was created by Guido Van Rossum who computer science at the University of Amsterdam, while University of Calgary and Carnegie Mellon University computer scientist, James Gosling founded and led the design of Java.

And if you do fancy combining undergraduate studies with an MBA, look no further than Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft who headed to the U.S. from India to study computer science at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and then got his MBA from Chicago Booth. There is also Jeremy Stoppelman, co-founder and CEO of Yelp with a BS computer engineering from Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and an MBA from Harvard Business School.

And let’s not forget that Jimmy Fallon, the late-night talk show host was originally a computer science major at The College of Saint Rose in Albany, New York before switching to communications in his senior year.

So what about you? Whether at one of the world’s top 50 computer sciences schools , or a more affordable online alternative, are you ready to start your career in tech?

The university-level ARWU ranking emphasises large, time-honoured universities that are active in traditional natural, life and medical sciences. Accordingly, the overall ARWU ranking is not very relevant for more specialised universities such as the Aalto University. In 2017, Shanghai Ranking launched 52 new subject rankings based on bibliometric indicators and international scientific awards. These subject rankings function well as tools for international benchmarking.

European Ranking of Engineering Programs (EngiRank)

EngiRank, launched in 2023, is a new university ranking that seeks to evaluate engineering and technology programmes in the 27 European Union countries. In addition to bibliometric indicators, the ranking utilises indicators unique to the European Research Area (ERA) and the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), such as participation in the Erasmus+ and Horizon programmes as well as in the European University Alliances. EngiRank publishes an institutional ranking and subject-based rankings within the general field of technology and engineering.

Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings

THE World University Rankings is based on 13 indicators. Reputation surveys have a considerable weight in the ranking, as do bibliometric analysis. THE is a widely respected ranking agent that widens its ranking portfolio continuously.

QS World University Rankings

The reputation survey is the most essential factor in the QS rankings. It has the weight of 50% in the general rankings, and in certain fields of arts and humanities (such as Art & Design, which is important to Aalto), the entire ranking is solely based on the reputation survey. QS applies a number of indicators in its general rankings (and to a varying extent in field-specific rankings). In its publication and citation analysis based on the Scopus database of Elseview, QS does not take into account the differences between individual scientific fields regarding publication practices, but instead normalises its assessment to five main fields of science. Before 2015, QS did not take into account any differences in the publication and citation practices of different academic fields.

National Taiwan University Ranking: Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities

The NTU Ranking is based on the analysis of publication and citation data included in the Clarivate Analytics Web of Science database, which emphasises volume in addition to influence. NTU's analyses are in part normalised by academic fields, but by emphasising volume alongside research impact, the general rankings of NTU also highlight fields in which large publication and citation volumes are typical (particularly natural sciences and biomedicine). In field-specific rankings, the assessment is limited to selected fields.

Leiden Ranking

Leiden Ranking does not as such produce one ranking; instead, it uses the Web of Science database of Thomson Reuters as a basis for calculating different, considerably advanced bibliometric indicators for the universities of the world, which can be used to put the universities in a ranking order if so desired. However, the indicators are presumably more suitable for analysing and comparing the publication profiles and impacts of universities with the help of a tool pack with comparable metrics.

Financial Times Business School Rankings

The Financial Times publishes internationally respected comparisons in the field of businessa and economics. One key element is the surveys sent to universities and their alumni on issues such as career and salary development. Research publications and indicators of teaching staff also contribute to the results.

The rankings measure each institution’s performance in teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook with 13 performance indicators. The ranking also draws on a global reputation survey from more than 40,000 scholars worldwide.

UMass showed key strength in its citations score, a category that assesses research scope and influence, placing in the top 11 percent of all global institutions.

The university also showed continued growth in its international outlook, a metric of increasing engagement with international communities of students, faculty, and researchers. The UMass international outlook score climbed more than two points this year and is up 10 points in this area since THE ’s 2018 rankings.

times higher education ranking for computer science

Times Higher Education today released the results of its World University Rankings 2022 by subject for computer science and engineering.

The London-based organisation known for its global rankings lists for universities around the world has rated Oxford University in the UK as the top choice for computer science, with the US racking an impressive 35 universities among the top 100.

This is the second year in a row that Oxford has topped the list, which ranks 891 universities from 75 countries and regions.

South Africans wanting to study computer science will be relieved to know seven universities in the country made it onto the list. Stellenbosch University came in at 491, the University of Cape Town (UCT) at 519, the University of Pretoria (UP) at 574, the University of Johannesburg at 679, University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) at 689, Wits University at 792 and Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) at 887.

Australia is also a good bet for a computer science degree, with 10 of its universities consistently making it into the top 200 since 2018.

A record 12 mainland China universities also ranked in the top 200, with the country’s Peking University and Tsinghua University making it into the top 20.

The US has again emerged as the outright global leader for teaching in engineering. Harvard retains its top spot as the elite institution, followed by Stanford, Berkeley and MIT. Places five and six went to the UK’s Cambridge and Oxford.

Closer to home, nine SA institutions have featured on the list of 1,188 universities offering engineering. They are TUT at 398, UJ at 442, North West University at 467, Stellenbosch at 484, UCT at 638, UKZN at 697, UP at 740, Wits at 797 and the Durban University of Technology at 846.

Asia took 28 spots in the top 100, Australia took eight places and Canada ranked with five.

Phil Baty, chief knowledge officer for Times Higher Education, said while the US and other western nations dominated the top positions for students wanting to study computer sciences and engineering, many other diverse countries and regions were also offering top-notch degrees, with Asia standing out as a rising power.

“With the likelihood of hybrid and digital teaching staying with us for some time, it will be interesting to see how universities adapt to this new normal, how they might become increasingly attractive to local and international students and how the established elite might be challenged as a result,” he said.

times higher education ranking for computer science

NUS ranked among top 10 worldwide for Computer Science and Engineering

Computing and Engineering

The University’s Computer Science and Engineering courses have been placed in the top 10 across the world , according to the prestigious Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings by subject .

NUS also tops the rankings among Asian universities for these subjects.

Eighth spot globally for Computer Science

The 2022 rankings marked the second straight year that NUS was placed eighth for Computer Science. It remains the top Asian university for the in-demand subject, with the rest of the top 10 from either the United States or Europe. The University of Oxford took pole position, followed by Stanford University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 

Overall, 891 universities from 75 countries and regions were ranked for this subject.

“(In Computer Science), Asia impresses as the National University of Singapore (eighth place) holds onto a top 10 place for a second consecutive year,” said Times Higher Education in a statement on 6 Oct.

Only new entrant into elite 10 for Engineering

NUS also remains the top Asian university for Engineering. It moved into 10th spot, rising two spots from 12th in the 2021 rankings.

“The United States is the outright global leader for Engineering. However, there is significant competition from the rest of the world. In the top 10 alone there are representatives from the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Singapore – whose National University of Singapore (10th) is the only new entrant into this year’s elite group,” said Times Higher Education.

Harvard University was rated the best university for Engineering, followed by Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley. The Engineering ranking assessed 1,188 universities from 85 countries and regions.

Times Higher Education announced last month that NUS rose four places to emerge 21st in the overall World University Rankings – the best showing by NUS, and Singapore, since the rankings started in 2010 . The University also retained its position as the third best university in Asia.

Times Higher Education followed up by announcing the rankings by subject in batches.

For the subjects announced on 16 Sep, NUS climbed two spots to 16th for Physical Sciences; rose one position to 24th in Life Sciences; and improved by one rank to 17th for the Clinical and Health domain. It slipped by one spot to 58th for the study of Psychology.

The Computing and Engineering rankings on 6 Oct were the second batch to be announced.

The London-based organisation will announce the rankings for more subjects on 13 Oct and 3 Nov.

Digital Currencies

Best university for studying blockchain and digital currencies

In another development highlighting its strength in science and technology, NUS took top spot in the Universities for Blockchain rankings 2021 by CoinDesk .

The rankings cover courses, research output, campus blockchain offerings (like student clubs and research centres), employment outcomes, academic reputation and cost.

“Overall, the National University of Singapore is in first place as a result of its multiple blockchain research centers, its frequently hosted blockchain-themed conferences, its many blockchain clubs, its company partnerships and its Masters programme in digital financial technology ,” said CoinDesk.

The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology was runner-up while the University of California, Berkeley was in third place.

This year’s Coindesk ranking rates 230 schools and universities internationally, expanding the sample from just United States schools in the first university ranking last year. Research for the rankings was led by Mr Reuben Youngblom, a researcher from Stanford University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, along with CoinDesk’s Mr Joe Lautzenhiser.

CoinDesk is an established news site specialising in the rapidly-expanding digital currency sector, and has been publishing since 2013.

Rankings are methods for comparing the quality of universities around the world. Universities are judged by for example their academic performance, publications, reputation, collaboration with industrial partners and the quality of the education. There are several international rankings, each focusing on different aspects. TU/e is world-leading in rankings concerning our cooperation with industry.

Actual position TU/e in 4 international rankings

TU/e on rankings

Leading international rankings

Each ranking has its own focus and methodology. The CWTS Leiden Ranking assesses universities only in respect of measurable facets that are related to academic publication output. It ignores other indicators like reputation or quality of education. TU/e scores well above the global average with the share of publications in the top 1% and the 10% for most cited. The Times Higher Education Ranking and the QS-ranking  assess universities at both academic education and research level. In general, TU/e has been in the top 20% from the THE and QS ranking for years. The Academic Ranking of World Universities  (ARWU/ Shanghai) targets only the assessment of research and not the quality of the education. ARWU determines the position in the ranking, and in the related subsidiary rankings, by looking at aspects like the number of alumni and staff that have won a Nobel Prize or a Fields Medal, the number of highly-cited academics and the number of publications in Nature or Science.

National rankings

The Keuzegids  compares the quality of programs at Dutch educational institutions, among which Universities. The ranking is based on a number of sources, including the National Student Survey (NSE) and labour market data from ROA . NSE results for TU/e can be found in the BI portal, which is only accessible for staff members.

Elsevier Best Studies also compares the quality of bachelor's and master's programs at Dutch universities. They, too, partly rely on the NSE. In addition, they use data on, among other things, binding study advice, returns, switchers and the student population.

Georgia Tech Interim Dean of Computing Alex Orso

"I am delighted to see our graduate computer science programs earn this well-deserved recognition," says Alex Orso, interim dean of the College of Computing.

"It's solid evidence that there is growing national awareness of our staunch commitment to enhancing academic quality, expanding research opportunities, and fostering a vibrant campus community for our graduate students."

[Georgia Tech Rises in National Rankings for Undergraduate AI and Cybersecurity]

Besides rising in the ranks for overall CS, Georgia Tech showed its strength in many specific areas. Georgia Tech ranks No. 5 for artificial intelligence (AI) and No. 14 for programming languages. Each is up one position from the 2023 rankings.

Tech climbed two spots for systems, ranking No. 4, and three spots for theory, ranking No. 9.

"Through investments in faculty development, state-of-the-art facilities, and innovative programs, the College of Computing remains at the forefront of higher education, equipping students with the knowledge, skills, and experiences needed to thrive in today's technology-driven and dynamic world," says Orso.

U.S. News Ranks UT Austin Computer Science Among Best in Graduate Program Rankings

Submitted by Staci R Norman on Tue, 04/09/2024 - 11:00am

Number 7 Best Graduate Computer Science Program in the Nation

The 2024-2025 rankings tout computer science at The University of Texas at Austin as among the seven best nationally.

The UT Computer Science graduate program continues to be recognized as a  top 10 program in the nation , as well as among the top 5 public schools and the best in Texas, according to U.S. News & World Report’s partial release of its most recent “Best Graduate Schools”  released today. The magazine ranks programs in alternating years.

UT Computer Science ranks 7th nationally, tied with Georgia Tech and the University of Washington. Four “ specialties ,” or areas of research, at UTCS also rank in the top ten, with Programming Languages coming in 7th, Theory ranked 8th, Artificial Intelligence ranked 9th, and Systems ranked 10th.

U.S. News has delayed release of rankings in additional areas in which The University of Texas at Austin has historically achieved No. 1 and top 10 rankings. Even with the partial release of the graduate rankings, UT maintained its top 10 spot for five colleges and schools. Overall, the University has 42 graduate schools and specialty programs ranked in the top 10 when combined with previous years.

“Our talent is what puts UT at the leading edge of discovery in AI and robotics, life sciences, population research, and many other disciplines that are at the forefront of solving many of the world’s most pressing problems and bettering society,” said President Jay Hartzell. 

U.S. News & World Report’s graduate rankings, which are published separately from the yearly ranking of undergraduate programs, are considered the gold standard of graduate and professional rankings. They are based on surveys of academic leaders and, for select programs, additional quantitative measures including placement test scores, student/faculty ratios, research expenditures, salary by profession and job placement success.

The publication updates some of its specialty rankings each year and republishes the most recent rankings in other areas.
