In public universities, there are two types: applied science and normal; for my profile, which type of colleges will you suggest for a Master's/PhD?

For your profile - with a four-year Computer Science degree and five years of work experience - a University of Applied Sciences (Fachhochschule) is typically the better fit. These universities focus on practical, industry-oriented education and often collaborate with companies, making them ideal if you plan to enter the workforce directly after your Master's.

If you are interested in research or a future PhD, consider traditional universities (Universitäten), which emphasize theoretical and research-based learning.
