We have surveyed the universities in quite a few European countries here at the Google College Rankings, so today on the 1st of May it might be interesting to look at them in summary view.
In Denmark, the top three are:

- Aarhus Universitet
The top Google-ranked universities in Finland are:

In France this is the top group:

These are all drawn from local-language searches; as we have seen, the results of local-language searches and English-language searches (on the word university) often differ.
