In Portugal, there is some time to spend with such matters during the 5 year long that an Informatics Engineering degree takes (certified by the Engineering Order).
Since Bologna, it got levelled to Masters, but most still take the 3 + 2 years, not to be left behind the older generation that had 5 + 2 for Master.
So plenty of time to go down into the subjects that USA consider computer science.
However for those that want to really go down the rabbit hole of computer science as seen on USA, the appropriate degree is Applied Maths into Computing.

As seen on USA? European CS degrees are generally more comprehensive because we do all the humanities already in high school which leaves more time for math and it is more common for people to continue with a masters degree.
