- Looking internationally, École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Toulouse in France is where industrial design, civil engineering and structural engineering get a comparable treatment; it is far smaller, with about 700 students against roughly 8,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Beyond national borders, École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-Val de Seine stands out as a comparable school for industrial design, civil engineering and structural engineering; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers ecology and sustainability and mathematics as well.
*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 …).
