Most Similar Schools Locally
- Osaka Sangyo University overlaps with this university on ergonomics and UX, transportations and geotechnics, so the two are easy to compare, and it covers quality as well, and is slightly larger, at about 11,000 students against roughly 9,000 here.
- Hokkai Gakuen University works in much the same fields, chiefly transportations, geotechnics and optics, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and has almost the same size, at about 8,000 students.
- Where this institution leans on transportations, geotechnics and optics, Tokyo City University does the same, and it is slightly smaller, at about 7,000 students against roughly 9,000 here, and is also a private institution.
- Both schools build their programmes around transportations, optics and signal processing, and Kogakuin University is the one to compare first within the country, since it covers aerospace and quality as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 7,000 students against roughly 9,000 here.
- Kanto Gakuin University follows much the same lines as this university, with transportations, geotechnics and optics as common ground, and it is slightly larger, at about 12,000 students against roughly 9,000 here, and is also a private institution.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Leuphana Universität Lüneburg in Germany shares the optics, signal processing and fluid dynamics orientation of this university, and it is public, whereas this university is private, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- For ergonomics and UX, transportations and geotechnics outside the home country, University of Ecology and Management in Warsaw in Poland is a natural reference; it is also a private institution and does not run the doctoral programmes found here.
- Universität Augsburg, based in Germany, is built around transportations, geotechnics and optics much like this university, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers quality and bioinformatics as well.
- Seen from abroad, Cracow University of Technology (Poland) is a close relative on subject matter, since transportations, geotechnics and optics are central to both, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers metrology and aerospace as well.
- For transportations, geotechnics and optics outside the home country, Tongji University in China is a natural reference; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers marine science and nanotechnologies as well.

*: 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 …).
