Here in Poland there's a split between Computer Science (mostly lots of theory and fundamentals) and Software Engineering, which gives you some of those as well, but also prepares you for a typical programming job in a typical company.

It's the same here in Sweden. We have degrees called Högskoleingenjör (which is three years) and Civilingenjör (which is five years) that put more focus on practical and industry-relevant courses than the more science-focused Bachelor of Science and Master of Science programs do.

I'm pretty certain that's true for a lot of countries other than the US. It makes sense after all.

Far from American Universities to make any changes to their curriculum to support people's actual objectives though.

Same here in Sweden, and I think also the rest of the Nordic countries.
