Most Similar Schools Locally
- Hochschule Biberach overlaps with this institution on transportations, quality and geotechnics, so the two are easy to compare, and it has almost the same size, at about 2,500 students, and is also a public institution.
- Hochschule Magdeburg-Stendal works in much the same fields, chiefly transportations, optics and signal processing, and it is also a public institution and runs the same bachelor's and master's programmes.
- A good alternative in the same country is Hochschule Flensburg, which likewise covers logistics, transportations and optics; it covers marine science and food science as well, and is larger, enrolling about 4,000 students against roughly 2,500 here.
- In terms of fields, Technische Hochschule Rosenheim is the nearest neighbour, with transportations, optics and signal processing again at the core; it is larger, enrolling about 6,000 students against roughly 2,500 here, and is also a public institution.
- Also strong in logistics, transportations and quality, Hochschule Schmalkalden makes a sensible second look at home; it covers ergonomics and UX as well, and has almost the same size, at about 2,500 students.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- State University of Applied Sciences in Krosno, based in Poland, is built around transportations, quality and geotechnics much like this institution, and it is also a public institution and runs the same bachelor's and master's programmes.
- Hochschule Luzern, Departement Technik & Architektur, in Switzerland, takes a similar route through quality, geotechnics and optics; it runs the same bachelor's and master's programmes and covers metrology and nanotechnologies as well.
- FHNW Hochschule für Architektur, Bau und Geomatik, in Switzerland, takes a similar route through quality, geotechnics and optics; it covers metrology as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 1,500 students against roughly 2,500 here.
- For a study option in Japan with a comparable spread of geotechnics, optics and signal processing, Akita University is the reference point: it covers bioinformatics and nanotechnologies as well, and is larger, enrolling about 5,000 students against roughly 2,500 here.
- If this institution is on your list for logistics, transportations and quality, University of Applied Sciences in Nysa in Poland deserves a comparison, because it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's and master's, and is slightly larger, at about 3,000 students against roughly 2,500 here.

*: 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 …).
