Tuition and overall cost of attendance, while taken into consideration, are not a major influence in this ranking. No one school is perfect for everybody, and there is no single opinion that trumps all when it comes to which school is the “best”. Ultimately every student has different needs regarding the type and academic rigor of a program, technology requirements, campus culture, as well as cost, lifestyle, and career focus. Our hope is that this list is a starting point for students to discover the schools that are the best fit for them. The top twenty schools are ranked on the last two page, but the other schools are listed alphabetically by country.
Countries with only one school on the list are in a section before the top twenty at the end. Please note that schools are only included once on this list. Schools in the top twenty or with locations in several countries are only included on the list once, so a school with one location in India could actually be listed in a different country’s section.
