Most Similar Schools Locally
- Facultad de Ciencias Biológicas y Ambientales takes a similar route through bioinformatics, microbiology and genetics and bioengineering, and it is larger, enrolling about 1,200 students against roughly 700 here, and is also a public institution.
- For students who like the microbiology and genetics, bioengineering and chemistry focus of this institution but want another option nearby, Facultad de Ciencias del Mar y Ambientales fits well: it is larger, enrolling about 1,500 students against roughly 700 here, and is also a public institution.
- Facultad de Ciencias Biológicas works in much the same fields, chiefly bioinformatics, microbiology and genetics and bioengineering, and it is far larger, with about 5,000 students against roughly 700 here, and is also a public institution.
- Both schools build their programmes around bioengineering, chemistry and ecology and sustainability, and Facultade de Ciencias do Mar is the one to compare first within the country, since it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers marine science and geotechnics as well.
- Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias y Ambientales sits close to this institution on microbiology and genetics, bioengineering and ecology and sustainability; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers agriculture and food science as well.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel shares the bioinformatics, microbiology and genetics and chemistry orientation of this institution, and it does not run the bachelor's programmes found here and covers physics and mathematics as well.
- Seen from abroad, University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School (the United States) is a close relative on subject matter, since bioinformatics, microbiology and genetics and bioengineering are central to both, and it is slightly smaller, at about 576 students against roughly 700 here, and is also a public institution.
- Looking internationally, Hannover Medical School in Germany is where bioinformatics, microbiology and genetics and bioengineering get a comparable treatment; it covers life sciences as well, and is far larger, with about 3,997 students against roughly 700 here.
- Wageningen University & Research offers an international parallel to this institution, with bioinformatics, microbiology and genetics and bioengineering as common ground; it covers marine science and agriculture as well, and is far larger, with about 13,000 students against roughly 700 here.
- For bioinformatics, microbiology and genetics and bioengineering outside the home country, Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in France is a natural reference; it covers astroscience and marine science as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 600 students against roughly 700 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.

*: 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 …).
