Most Similar Schools Locally
- Both schools build their programmes around agriculture, civil engineering and ecology and sustainability, and Tuva State University is the one to compare first within the country, since it is smaller, enrolling about 4,000 students against roughly 6,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Think of Maykop State Technological University when agriculture, civil engineering and ecology and sustainability is the priority: it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers food science as well.
- Among national alternatives, Volga State Technological University stands out for its focus on agriculture, civil engineering and ecology and sustainability, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- Another national school that puts agriculture, mechanical engineering and life sciences at the centre is Yaroslav-the-Wise Novgorod State University, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- Think of V.I. Vernadsky Crimean Federal University when agriculture, civil engineering and ecology and sustainability is the priority: it is far larger, with about 30,000 students against roughly 6,000 here, and is also a public institution.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Sumy National Agrarian University, based in Ukraine, is built around agriculture, civil engineering and ecology and sustainability much like this institution, and it covers food science and bioengineering as well, and is slightly larger, at about 7,000 students against roughly 6,000 here.
- In Ukraine, Lutsk National Technical University teaches much the same core subjects, civil engineering, ecology and sustainability and mechanical engineering, and it has almost the same size, at about 6,000 students, and is also a public institution.
- James Cook University, in Australia, takes a similar route through agriculture, civil engineering and ecology and sustainability; it is also a public institution and also offers mba programmes.
- On content, Yangzhou University in China and this institution are close, as both teach agriculture, civil engineering and mechanical engineering; it covers food science and chemistry as well, and is far larger, with about 26,000 students against roughly 6,000 here.
- Seen from abroad, Tottori University (Japan) is a close relative on subject matter, since agriculture, civil engineering and ecology and sustainability are central to both, and it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
*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 …).
