Most Similar Schools Locally
- Think of Kazimierz Pułaski University of Technology and Humanities in Radom when transportations, quality and optics is the priority: it covers logistics and civil engineering as well, and has almost the same size, at about 5,000 students.
- Opole University of Technology sits close to this institution on transportations, quality and optics; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers logistics and food science as well.
- Pope John Paul II State School of Higher Education in Biała Podlaska is the closest domestic counterpart for transportations, quality and fluid dynamics; it covers agriculture and geotechnics as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 2,800 students against roughly 5,000 here.
- Jan Długosz University in Częstochowa overlaps with this university on nanotechnologies, optics and signal processing, so the two are easy to compare, and it covers microbiology and genetics as well, and is slightly larger, at about 7,000 students against roughly 5,000 here.
- Kielce University of Technology takes a similar route through transportations, quality and optics, and it covers geotechnics and civil engineering as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 4,000 students against roughly 5,000 here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Nagoya Institute of Technology, in Japan, takes a similar route through transportations, nanotechnologies and optics; it covers civil engineering as well, and has almost the same size, at about 5,000 students.
- Abroad, Donghua University (China) covers quality, nanotechnologies and optics in a comparable way, and it covers microbiology and genetics as well, and is far larger, with about 30,000 students against roughly 5,000 here.
- Gunma University, in Japan, takes a similar route through transportations, nanotechnologies and optics; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers food science and bioinformatics as well.
- The closest overseas parallel on transportations, nanotechnologies and optics is Technische Universität Ilmenau, located in Germany; it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- Westsächsische Hochschule Zwickau (Germany) works on the same fields as this institution, chiefly transportations, optics and signal processing; it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and 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 …).
