Best Universities for Computer Science in Asia

Updated: March 15, 2026

Ranking by academic field

Below is a list of best universities in Asia ranked based on their research performance in Computer Science. A graph of 235M citations received by 14.5M academic papers made by 2,842 universities in Asia was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
