Most Similar Schools Locally
- Both schools build their programmes around ecology and sustainability, physics and mathematics, and Smolensk State University is the one to compare first within the country, since it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers chemistry and data analytics as well.
- Also strong in agriculture, ecology and sustainability and physics, Syktyvkar State University makes a sensible second look at home; it covers chemistry as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 7,000 students against roughly 10,000 here.
- For students who like the agriculture, ecology and sustainability and physics focus of this university but want another option nearby, Mari State University fits well: it has almost the same size, at about 9,000 students, and is also a public institution.
- On content, Buryat State University and this institution are close, as both teach ecology and sustainability, physics and mathematics; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers chemistry as well.
- Think of Derzhavin Tambov State University when physics, mathematics and life sciences is the priority: it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- In Ukraine, Kamianets-Podilskyi Ivan Ohiienko National University teaches much the same core subjects, ecology and sustainability, physics and mathematics, and it covers chemistry as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 7,000 students against roughly 10,000 here.
- The closest overseas parallel on ecology and sustainability, physics and mathematics is Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, located in Ukraine; it covers nanotechnologies and chemistry as well, and is larger, enrolling about 22,000 students against roughly 10,000 here.
- University of Canterbury brings a New Zealand setting to the same core fields, ecology and sustainability, physics and mathematics, and it is larger, enrolling about 27,121 students against roughly 10,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Seen from abroad, University of Innsbruck (Austria) is a close relative on subject matter, since ecology and sustainability, physics and mathematics are central to both, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers chemistry and statistics as well.
- In Spain, University of the Basque Country teaches much the same core subjects, physics, mathematics and life sciences, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.

*: 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 …).
