Those looking for a Master of Science (MSc) in the fields of technology, science or mathematics will be no stranger to the number of acclaimed universities from Ivy Leagues to institutions such as Stanford University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the USA. The land of opportunity continues to dominate Reuter’s list of Most Innovative Universities, with a total of 46 universities standing in the top 100.
Universities in the USA pride themselves on being at the forefront of technology, research and techniques. In addition to rigour in the program structure, students can expect advanced equipment with up-to-date technical capabilities in a stimulating and dynamic environment that pushes for innovation. Beyond the academic rigour is also access to a wide diversity of cultures and a competitive job market with access to the headquarters of many leading global companies.
Here are some key things to look out for in choosing your university:
Research facilities
– Cutting-edge equipment and resources can reflect the willingness of the university to invest in research and education, and enable the research work and practical assignments done during your coursework.

Location
