South Africa's best universities to study engineering and computer science

An analysis by MyBroadband shows that the University of Johannesburg (UJ) is the best tertiary institution in South Africa for studying computer science, engineering, or technology.

South Africa has a wide range of excellent universities and colleges that offer numerous valuable qualifications in all kinds of fields.
 
No. This analysis is wrong. It is premised on really bad foundations. For one, URAP is not a reliable ranking system, and larger universities are favourably biased since URAP evaluates, among other things, the number of publications. Paper mill universities (which SA sadly has many of, particularly in the lesser credible ones) thrive on this ranking, and I've seen plenty of hopeless drivel being pushed through questionable journals.

No, no, no. Do not base your future on this analysis at all.
 
How did you average rankings (lower is better) and scores (higher is better)?
 
The university that rpm used to lecture in is rated highest by mybb, sounds legit... :p
