Most Similar Schools Locally

Also strong in marine science, process control and automation, Svendborg International Maritime Academy makes a sensible second look at home; it is slightly larger, at about 1,100 students against roughly 900 here, and is also a public institution.
The comparison with UCL University College is straightforward on subjects, since both focus on automation, mechanical engineering and engineering, and it also offers associate degree programmes and covers industrial design and civil engineering as well.

Most Similar Schools Abroad

Beyond national borders, California State University Maritime Academy stands out as a comparable school for marine science, automation and mechanical engineering; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, and covers logistics as well.
Maine Maritime Academy in the United States shares the marine science, automation and mechanical engineering orientation of this school, and it covers logistics as well, and has almost the same size, at about 1,000 students.
For process control, automation and mechanical engineering outside the home country, Zhytomyr Agrotechnical College in Ukraine is a natural reference; it is slightly larger, at about 1,200 students against roughly 900 here, and is also a public institution.
Seen from abroad, Escuela Técnica Superior de Náutica y Máquinas Navales (Spain) is a close relative on subject matter, since marine science, mechanical engineering and engineering are central to both, and it also offers master's programmes, and is smaller, enrolling about 600 students against roughly 900 here.
Students considering a move abroad can look at Escuela Técnica Superior de Náutica in Spain, where marine science, mechanical engineering and engineering also form the core, and it is smaller, enrolling about 500 students against roughly 900 here, and is also a public institution.
