Most Similar Schools Locally
- For students who like the transportations, optics and signal processing focus of this school but want another option nearby, Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Amberg-Weiden fits well: it is also a public institution and runs the same bachelor's and master's programmes.
- Both schools build their programmes around transportations, quality and nanotechnologies, and Hochschule Reutlingen is the one to compare first within the country, since it is slightly larger, at about 5,500 students against roughly 4,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Technische Hochschule Brandenburg works in much the same fields, chiefly metrology, transportations and quality, and it covers ergonomics and UX and logistics as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 2,500 students against roughly 4,000 here.
- Technische Hochschule Deggendorf shares the core fields of this school, namely transportations, optics and signal processing; it is also a public institution and also offers mba programmes.
- Hochschule Aschaffenburg University of Applied Sciences follows much the same lines as this institution, with transportations, quality and optics as common ground, and it is also a public institution and also offers mba programmes.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- FHNW Hochschule für Technik brings a Switzerland setting to the same core fields, metrology, quality and nanotechnologies, and it is slightly smaller, at about 3,000 students against roughly 4,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- State University of Applied Sciences in Krosno, based in Poland, is built around transportations, quality and optics much like this institution, and it covers aerospace and food science as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 2,900 students against roughly 4,000 here.
- Students considering a move abroad can look at ZHAW School of Engineering in Switzerland, where metrology, quality and nanotechnologies also form the core, and it has almost the same size, at about 4,000 students, and is also a public institution.
- Beyond national borders, Gunma University stands out as a comparable school for transportations, nanotechnologies and optics; it also offers doctoral programmes and covers food science and bioinformatics as well.
- State Higher Vocational School in Tarnów, in Poland, takes a similar route through nanotechnologies, optics and signal processing; it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's and master's.

*: 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 …).
