- Mykolaiv National Agrarian University offers a comparable education in agriculture, food science and bioengineering: it covers automation as well, and has almost the same size, at about 6,000 students.
- The comparison with Bila Tserkva National Agrarian University is straightforward on subjects, since both focus on agriculture, food science and bioengineering, and it covers automation as well, and has almost the same size, at about 7,000 students.
- Think of Sumy National Agrarian University when agriculture, food science and bioengineering is the priority: it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers civil engineering as well.
- Another national school that puts agriculture, food science and geotechnics at the centre is National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, and it is far larger, with about 26,000 students against roughly 6,500 here, and is also a public institution.
- Podilsky State University offers a comparable education in agriculture, food science and ecology and sustainability: it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers process control and automation as well.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- For agriculture, food science and ecology and sustainability outside the home country, Maykop State Technological University in Russia is a natural reference; it covers civil engineering and software engineering as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 5,000 students against roughly 6,500 here.
- The closest overseas parallel on agriculture, ecology and sustainability and mechanical engineering is Kalmyk State University, located in Russia; it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- For a study option in Brazil with a comparable spread of agriculture, food science and engineering, Federal Institute Sertão Pernambucano is the reference point: it is slightly larger, at about 8,000 students against roughly 6,500 here, and is also a public institution.
- Seen from abroad, Norwegian University of Life Sciences (Norway) is a close relative on subject matter, since agriculture, food science and bioengineering are central to both, and it covers microbiology and genetics and life sciences as well, and has almost the same size, at about 6,000 students.
- Federal Institute Goiano, based in Brazil, is built around agriculture, food science and engineering much like this university, and it also offers diploma programmes, and is slightly larger, at about 9,000 students against roughly 6,500 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 …).
