Most Similar Schools Locally
- In terms of fields, Hogeschool Rotterdam is the nearest neighbour, with industrial design, civil engineering and bioengineering again at the core; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and associate degree programmes, and covers logistics and marine science as well.
- On content, Saxion Hogeschool and this institution are close, as both teach industrial design, civil engineering and bioengineering; it has almost the same size, at about 27,000 students, and is also a public institution.
- Windesheim Hogeschool is the closest domestic counterpart for industrial design, civil engineering and robotics; it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and associate degree programmes.
- Hogeschool Utrecht offers a comparable education in industrial design, civil engineering and bioengineering: it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and associate degree programmes.
- Both schools build their programmes around industrial design, civil engineering and mechanical engineering, and NHL Stenden Hogeschool is the one to compare first within the country, since it covers marine science as well, and has almost the same size, at about 24,000 students.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- The closest overseas parallel on civil engineering, chemistry and mathematics is TU Wien, located in Austria; it is also a public institution and also offers doctoral programmes.
- Technische Universität Berlin offers an international parallel to this institution, with food science, industrial design and civil engineering as common ground; it also offers doctoral programmes and covers sound engineering and ergonomics and UX as well.
- For civil engineering, chemistry and mathematics outside the home country, Dresden University of Technology in Germany is a natural reference; it is also a public institution and also offers doctoral programmes.
- If this institution is on your list for food science, industrial design and civil engineering, Hogeschool Gent in Belgium deserves a comparison, because it covers manufacturing and life sciences as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 17,000 students against roughly 26,000 here.
- Students considering a move abroad can look at Lund University in Sweden, where industrial design, civil engineering and bioengineering also form the core, and it covers nanotechnologies and telecommunications as well, and is larger, enrolling about 44,000 students against roughly 26,000 here.
*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 …).
