Some 300 schools from 23 countries are featured in the 2018 ranking for computer science by Times Higher Education this year.

Nearly a quarter of the featured universities are American colleges and almost half the universities are based in Europe. Nearly 40 of the top 300 universities are Asian institutions.

Computer science degrees vary in terms of their focus and specialisms. Some courses are more theoretical and some more focused on programming.

The ranking uses the same methodology as the World University Rankings, but with slightly higher weighting given to the innovation metric and lower weighting for citations. The full methodology is published online.

The World University Ranking 2018 profile of each university is linked to the institution's name in the following table.
