Most Similar Schools Abroad
- If this school is on your list for transportations, optics and signal processing, Hochschule Esslingen in Germany deserves a comparison, because it also offers master's and mba programmes and covers aerospace and civil engineering as well.
- State University of Applied Sciences in Przemyśl, based in Poland, is built around optics, signal processing and fluid dynamics much like this institution, and it is also a public institution and does not run the associate degree programmes found here.
- If this institution is on your list for transportations, signal processing and fluid dynamics, Hipolit Cegielski State University of Applied Sciences in Gniezno in Poland deserves a comparison, because it is also a public institution and does not run the associate degree programmes found here.
- Looking internationally, Berner Fachhochschule, Departement Technik und Informatik in Switzerland is where signal processing, fluid dynamics and thermodynamics get a comparable treatment; it is larger, enrolling about 2,500 students against roughly 1,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Haute École d'Ingénierie et de Gestion du Canton de Vaud brings a Switzerland setting to the same core fields, optics, signal processing and fluid dynamics, and it is larger, enrolling about 2,000 students against roughly 1,000 here, and is also a public institution.

*: 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 …).
