Most Similar Schools Locally
- Hochschule Karlsruhe – Technik und Wirtschaft sits close to this school on metrology, logistics and transportations; it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- Berliner Hochschule für Technik is the closest domestic counterpart for sound engineering, metrology and ergonomics and UX; it does not run the doctoral programmes found here and covers aerospace and food science as well.
- Both schools build their programmes around metrology, optics and signal processing, and Hochschule Aalen – Technik und Wirtschaft is the one to compare first within the country, since it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers quality and nanotechnologies as well.
- Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Dresden is the closest domestic counterpart for ergonomics and UX, logistics and transportations; it is slightly smaller, at about 5,000 students against roughly 7,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- For students who like the sound engineering, ergonomics and UX and transportations focus of this school but want another option nearby, Hochschule Augsburg fits well: it is also a public institution and does not run the doctoral programmes found 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 …).
