    Hi, I'm considering going back to University. I studied for 5 years in New Zealand and 3 Semesters in Germany (2x Bachelors + 1 Post Graduate Diploma).......now I'd like to continue my studies (Masters)......where are the best Computer Science Uni's in the world? Obviously Berkley & MIT, but what else will say something to employers other than this? What Unis stand out on a CV? I had some ideas, but I'm looking to extend my list, then go hunting for scholarships and programs that interest me: Helsinki (Finland) TU Munich (Germany) Karlsruhe (Germany) I'd consider anything where I can study in English or German. Any suggestions? Thanks Martin

        For a CS Uni? I don't think so.

                  Generic computer science or specialties? This is where you get into differences between various universities. You can get 3D graphics specialty program in very few, AI in fewer still, web services in many more. So the question is more to your CV question. What is it specifically you want your CV to say? I attended xxx and got a generic CS degree program. I attended yyy and got the best generic CS degree program. I attended zzz and got a CS degree with specialty operations in aaa which make me an asset to your team from day one. My masters thesis was on bbb which you are already using, making less training to your companies methods. If you don't know what you want to do, get a generic CS degree, best or otherwise, but I highly recomend getting some specialty skills you intend to use on the first day of work. It demonstrates your desire to do this in the future. If you want a job writing robotic controls, maybe MIT with their robotic program offers more. If you want AI perhaps CalTech or Cambridge or others might be better. If you want 3D graphics MIT or even some odd-balls like Georgia Tech start showing up. Masters and PhDs invariably offer the ability to specialize study to specific aspects of computer science, so pick the best university for the type of studies you want, not just any CS program. What do you want to be doing? and how do you want your CV to get you there? and your degree to get on your CV?

                          Thanks for the suggestions..... Sofar I've been to Waikato Uni (Hamilton) in NZ and Osnabrück Uni (Lower Saxony) in Germany. I studied Computer Technology & German in NZ and whatever matching in Osnabrück. I love Network programming and driver design, but I want to work in Austria (not Australia) later. I'm not sure if the Austrian market is the place to be a driver designer (America would be better?), but maybe my assumption is wrong there. In my 2 years of work experience in Germany I haven't had much need for driver design or network programming (unfortunately) and its been more my generic IT knowledge and programming skills that have kept me going. P.S. definitely wouldn't do a CogSci or AI programme. Any more suggestions guys? Thanks Martin
