Set active 'Scene Collection'
scene_collection = bpy.context.view_layer.layer_collection
bpy.context.view_layer.active_layer_collection = scene_collection

You can loop trough all your [first level] collections and set the one you want with it's name
collections = bpy.context.view_layer.layer_collection.children
for collection in collections:
if collection.name == "name_of_the_collection_you_want_active":
bpy.context.view_layer.active_layer_collection = collection
If you want to loop in all collections looking for "My Collection" and set it active you can use this code Change active collection from johnzero7 :
#Recursivly transverse layer_collection for a particular name
def recurLayerCollection(layerColl, collName):
found = None
if (layerColl.name == collName):
return layerColl
for layer in layerColl.children:
found = recurLayerCollection(layer, collName)
if found:
return found
#Change the Active LayerCollection to 'My Collection'
layer_collection = bpy.context.view_layer.layer_collection
layerColl = recurLayerCollection(layer_collection, 'My Collection')
bpy.context.view_layer.active_layer_collection = layerColl

$\begingroup$ I don't think @cscholl's solution works recursively - e.g. it will only work if the collection is not nested in another collection. $\endgroup$– dddMay 25, 2020 at 11:01

$\begingroup$ @ddd : you're right, I've edited the code to add a recursive exemple $\endgroup$– cschollMay 26, 2020 at 13:36
