Most Similar Schools Locally

  • The comparison with University of Agriculture in Krakow is straightforward on subjects, since both focus on aerospace, agriculture and food science, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and is slightly larger, at about 9,000 students against roughly 8,000 here.
  • Both schools build their programmes around agriculture, food science and transportations, and University of Life Sciences in Lublin is the one to compare first within the country, since it is slightly smaller, at about 7,000 students against roughly 8,000 here, and is also a public institution.
  • Also strong in aerospace, agriculture and food science, Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences makes a sensible second look at home; it covers marine science and signal processing as well, and is slightly larger, at about 9,000 students against roughly 8,000 here.
  • Both schools build their programmes around aerospace, agriculture and food science, and University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn is the one to compare first within the country, since it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
  • Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of agriculture, food science and transportations can consider University of Technology and Life Sciences in Bydgoszcz, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.

Most Similar Schools Abroad

  • Beyond national borders, Nanjing Agricultural University stands out as a comparable school for agriculture, food science and bioinformatics; it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
  • AgroParisTech, based in France, is built around agriculture, food science and quality much like this university, and it does not run the bachelor's programmes found here and covers logistics and marine science as well.
  • Students considering a move abroad can look at Universität Hohenheim in Germany, where aerospace, agriculture and food science also form the core, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
  • The closest overseas parallel on agriculture, food science and bioinformatics is Beijing Forestry University, located in China; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and is larger, enrolling about 18,000 students against roughly 8,000 here.
  • Looking internationally, Università degli Studi della Tuscia in Italy is where agriculture, food science and bioinformatics get a comparable treatment; it is slightly larger, at about 9,000 students against roughly 8,000 here, and is also a public institution.

*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.

*: 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: 

  1. known locally
  2. known locally and internationally
  3. is listed in some of the world university’s classifications
  4. 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 …).
