Most Similar Schools Locally

Both schools build their programmes around ergonomics and UX, signal processing and industrial design, and Hochschule für Gestaltung Schwäbisch Gmünd is the one to compare first within the country, since it is slightly larger, at about 700 students against roughly 500 here, and is public, whereas this university is private.
Also strong in ergonomics and UX, project management and telecommunications, Zeppelin Universität makes a sensible second look at home; it is larger, enrolling about 1,000 students against roughly 500 here, and is also a private institution.
SRH Hochschule Berlin overlaps with this institution on ergonomics and UX, quality and signal processing, so the two are easy to compare, and it is also a private institution and also offers master's and mba programmes.
Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach am Main sits close to this institution on ergonomics and UX, quality and signal processing; it covers sound engineering and nanotechnologies as well, and is slightly larger, at about 700 students against roughly 500 here.
Universität Witten/Herdecke shares the core fields of this university, namely ergonomics and UX, project management and statistics; it also offers master's and doctoral programmes and covers bioinformatics and bioengineering as well.

Most Similar Schools Abroad

Students considering a move abroad can look at Kyoto College of Graduate Studies for Informatics in Japan, where ergonomics and UX, quality and signal processing also form the core, and it is also a private institution and also offers master's programmes.
Seen from abroad, University of Fukuchiyama (Japan) is a close relative on subject matter, since ergonomics and UX, project management and computer vision are central to both, and it is larger, enrolling about 800 students against roughly 500 here, and is public, whereas this university is private.
DigiPen Institute of Technology Europe-Bilbao offers an international parallel to this institution, with industrial design, computer vision and mathematics as common ground; it covers physics as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 400 students against roughly 500 here.
Warsaw School of Computer Science in Poland is the nearest foreign match on quality, signal processing and project management; it also offers master's programmes, and is far larger, with about 1,500 students against roughly 500 here.
For a study option in Poland with a comparable spread of ergonomics and UX, industrial design and project management, University of Information Technology in Katowice is the reference point: it is also a private institution and also offers master's programmes.
