Most Similar Schools Abroad
- For optics, signal processing and fluid dynamics outside the home country, Kurume Institute of Technology in Japan is a natural reference; it runs the same bachelor's and master's programmes and covers transportations and geotechnics as well.
- Seen from abroad, National Institute of Technology, Gifu College (Japan) is a close relative on subject matter, since optics, signal processing and fluid dynamics are central to both, and it is also a public institution and also offers associate degree programmes.
- The closest overseas parallel on optics, signal processing and fluid dynamics is Hochschule Hannover, located in Germany; it covers sound engineering and ergonomics and UX as well, and is far larger, with about 10,000 students against roughly 1,500 here.
- Looking internationally, Hochschule Zittau/Görlitz in Germany is where optics, signal processing and fluid dynamics get a comparable treatment; it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's and master's.
- Looking internationally, FHNW Hochschule für Architektur, Bau und Geomatik in Switzerland is where optics, signal processing and fluid dynamics get a comparable treatment; it has almost the same size, at about 1,500 students, and is also a public institution.
*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.
- Architecture, Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM), Design for Manufacturing (DfM), Design Thinking, Engineering, Information Technology (IT), Sustainable Product Design
*: 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 …).
