Most Similar Schools Locally
- For students who like the sound engineering, ergonomics and UX and optics focus of this institution but want another option nearby, Hochschule Mittweida fits well: it is also a public institution and also offers doctoral programmes.
- Where this school leans on sound engineering, ergonomics and UX and transportations, Fachhochschule Dortmund - University of Applied Sciences and Arts does the same, and it covers logistics and aerospace as well, and is larger, enrolling about 14,000 students against roughly 7,000 here.
- Where this institution leans on transportations, optics and signal processing, Hochschule Kempten University of Applied Sciences does the same, and it also offers mba programmes and covers logistics and food science as well.
- The comparison with Hochschule Düsseldorf - University of Applied Sciences is straightforward on subjects, since both focus on sound engineering, ergonomics and UX and transportations, and it is slightly larger, at about 10,000 students against roughly 7,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Think of Hochschule Darmstadt when sound engineering, ergonomics and UX and transportations is the priority: it is larger, enrolling about 17,000 students against roughly 7,000 here, and is also a public institution.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Beyond national borders, Tokyo University of Technology stands out as a comparable school for sound engineering, ergonomics and UX and optics; it covers food science and bioinformatics as well, and has almost the same size, at about 7,000 students.
- Abroad, Sojo University (Japan) covers ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing in a comparable way, and it is smaller, enrolling about 4,000 students against roughly 7,000 here, and is private, whereas this institution is public.
- Seen from abroad, Hochschule Luzern (Switzerland) is a close relative on subject matter, since geotechnics, optics and signal processing are central to both, and it is slightly larger, at about 8,000 students against roughly 7,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- For transportations, fluid dynamics and industrial design outside the home country, State University of Applied Sciences in Nowy Sącz in Poland is a natural reference; it runs the same bachelor's and master's programmes and covers logistics and quality as well.
- Shanghai Institute of Technology, based in China, is built around transportations, optics and signal processing much like this school, and it covers logistics and food science as well, and is larger, enrolling about 18,000 students against roughly 7,000 here.
*our own picks (our criteria: a mix between domains, diploma delivered, reputation and size), but obviously too many criteria for an apple-to-apple ranking.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI), Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM), Design for Manufacturing (DfM), Engineering, Mechanical Engineer, Robotics
*: without any judgment of the quality, readers are strongly encouraged to check the official status of the exact diploma envisioned as many universities have a mix of recognized diplomas, not recognized, “co-delivered,” “equivalent to”, “some pathways” (…), can change over time, and can be named differently from one country to another.
**: international reputation: is based on some criteria that do not mean much in some domains or specialties (number of researchers, of scientific publications, on budget ….). Our approximate 1-4 scale:
- known locally
- known locally and internationally
- is listed in some of the world university’s classifications
- is listed among the 20 firsts in some of world university’s classifications
***: estimated numbers, based on online sources and/or feedbacks. The numbers can vary greatly depending on school organisation (ex.: school is part of a group, it employs internal staff or external consultants or has public staff without employing them …).
