Most Similar Schools Locally
- Think of Hochschule Aschaffenburg University of Applied Sciences when logistics, transportations and quality is the priority: it is smaller, enrolling about 3,500 students against roughly 6,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Hochschule Hamm-Lippstadt is the closest domestic counterpart for transportations, optics and signal processing; it is also a public institution and runs the same bachelor's and master's programmes.
- Westfälische Hochschule - University of Applied Sciences shares the core fields of this university, namely logistics, transportations and optics; it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's and master's.
- Also strong in transportations, optics and signal processing, Hochschule Ravensburg-Weingarten makes a sensible second look at home; it is also a public institution and runs the same bachelor's and master's programmes.
- Hochschule Magdeburg-Stendal works in much the same fields, chiefly transportations, optics and signal processing, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's and master's, and is slightly smaller, at about 5,000 students against roughly 6,000 here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Abroad, State University of Applied Sciences in Gorzów Wielkopolski (Poland) covers logistics, transportations and quality in a comparable way, and it is smaller, enrolling about 2,800 students against roughly 6,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- For logistics, transportations and quality outside the home country, University of Applied Sciences in Nysa in Poland is a natural reference; it is smaller, enrolling about 3,000 students against roughly 6,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Abroad, Shanghai Institute of Technology (China) covers logistics, transportations and quality in a comparable way, and it is far larger, with about 18,000 students against roughly 6,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- If this university is on your list for optics, signal processing and fluid dynamics, University of Hyogo in Japan deserves a comparison, because it covers bioinformatics and nanotechnologies as well, and has almost the same size, at about 6,000 students.
- Seen from abroad, Saitama University (Japan) is a close relative on subject matter, since transportations, optics and signal processing are central to both, and it is also a public institution and also offers doctoral programmes.
*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 …).
