Digital Leaders: top universities for a digital education

Technology and computer science are some of the fastest growing fields in the world, and new roles and jobs are being created every month. Digital skills are highly sought after, even by non-tech companies, so a technology or digital-based degree is always a smart choice.

In a suite of rankings put together by French consultancy Emerging and published exclusively by Times Higher Education, students can explore which universities have a good reputation for providing a digital education and encouraging tech skills and entrepreneurship.

The ranking was created using data collected from a survey conducted in the past year. Among the 3,500 participants were corporate executives, start-up executives and young digital professionals. Participants were asked to vote for up to 15 institutions, from a list of 1,000, that they believed excelled across five digital and tech categories. Additional data was provided by Crunchbase. The full methodology can be found here. 

Four US universities feature in the top 10, with three UK universities present, and also one university each from Canada, Germany and Australia. 

Universities from France, Spain, Japan and Sweden also feature in the top 150. 

As part of the Digital Leaders ranking, there is also a table on the top institutions for encouraging digital entrepreneurship, which can be found here.
