Most Similar Schools Locally
- Among national alternatives, Maebashi Institute of Technology stands out for its focus on optics, signal processing and fluid dynamics, and it is also a private institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- Kyoto University of Advanced Science is the closest domestic counterpart for optics, signal processing and fluid dynamics; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and is larger, enrolling about 4,000 students against roughly 1,500 here.
- Hachinohe Institute of Technology shares the core fields of this school, namely optics, signal processing and fluid dynamics; it covers microbiology and genetics and industrial design as well, and has almost the same size, at about 1,500 students.
- Also strong in optics, signal processing and fluid dynamics, Aichi Institute of Technology makes a sensible second look at home; it covers aerospace and transportations as well, and is far larger, with about 6,000 students against roughly 1,500 here.
- Where this school leans on optics, signal processing and fluid dynamics, Iwaki Meisei University does the same, and it covers bioinformatics and microbiology and genetics as well, and has almost the same size, at about 1,500 students.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- In France, École Supérieure d'Électronique de l'Ouest teaches much the same core subjects, quality, optics and signal processing, and it has almost the same size, at about 1,500 students, and is also a private institution.
- Seen from abroad, ESIGELEC (France) is a close relative on subject matter, since quality, optics and signal processing are central to both, and it covers logistics and aerospace as well, and is slightly larger, at about 2,000 students against roughly 1,500 here.
- If this school is on your list for quality, nanotechnologies and optics, SUPSI Dipartimento tecnologie innovative in Switzerland deserves a comparison, because it is public, whereas this school is private, and does not run the doctoral programmes found here.
- Seen from abroad, Constructor University (Germany) is a close relative on subject matter, since quality, nanotechnologies and optics are central to both, and it covers logistics and marine science as well, and has almost the same size, at about 1,600 students.
- For a study option in Poland with a comparable spread of quality, nanotechnologies and optics, University of Bielsko-Biała is the reference point: it covers transportations and industrial design as well, and is far larger, with about 5,000 students against roughly 1,500 here.

*: 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 …).
