Then the traditional 'Old* Unversities
Then the other Universities
With the small colleges that don't have full University status at the bottom
However it's worth looking at the detailed tables that rank a number of different study areas - universities are sometimes specialised in particular subjects.
Also rankings can only give a very generalised picture of which place is best

Not easy to beat the world's top universities in that field in programming. Wonder how some of the others fared . . . .
So much for meaningless rankings. They should always be interpreted carefully.
"At least we know whose good in computer science: "
What a goon….
Thanks to Slovakia and Asia who donate some brains to Sverige. So some Swedish imbeciles will brag about their achievements…..
How can you be sure? Do you study or work at KTH or Karolinska?
You are a moron as your fellow @dsc
First of all, YES I have master's degree from KTH. But that isn't the point.
The point is: the retard buffoon @dsc is proudly bragging about (http://www.kth.se/aktuellt/1.54357?l=en_UK), and he didn't notice that the teamwork has one guy from Slovakia and the another is Asian.
That's why I commented on him.
Finally, you lumpen (@Luke35711) came out of the blue and ask me "How can you be sure? Do you study or work at KTH or Karolinska?" How on earth does your question make any sense in this context? Which side (or which hole) of the palnet you live?
