Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Technische Hochschule Lübeck in Germany is the nearest foreign match on bioinformatics, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers civil engineering as well.
- In Germany, Constructor University teaches much the same core subjects, bioinformatics, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers logistics and marine science as well.
- Campus Bio-Medico di Roma brings a Italy setting to the same core fields, food science, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics, and it is also a private institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- École Centrale de Lyon in France shares the bioinformatics, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics orientation of this institution, and it does not run the bachelor's programmes found here and covers sound engineering and aerospace as well.
- Students considering a move abroad can look at INSA Rennes in France, where nanotechnologies, optics and signal processing also form the core, and it has almost the same size, at about 2,000 students, and is public, whereas this university is private.
*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:
- 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 …).
