This is a very US centric view of the education problem.
In Portugal, Informatics Engineering content is quite diverse mixing theory with practice, the degrees are protected, and there is enough industry related content in optional classes (many of which need to be taken for the yearly credits).
For the typical CS content mostly theory that often gets discussed in these posts, then path is via math degree with specilization in either applied maths or computing.
Having had contact with other European universities on past life at CERN, I am quite sure many other European countries follow similar approaches to enginnering and computers.
Naturally they aren't the place to learn the latest tech that head hunters are currently looking for, for that we have polytechnics and technical schools.
