Most Similar Schools Locally

  • Seoul National University of Science and Technology works in much the same fields, chiefly automation, mechanical engineering and engineering, and it is far larger, with about 16,000 students against roughly 3,000 here, and is public, whereas this university is private.
  • Kumoh National Institute of Technology is the closest domestic counterpart for automation, mechanical engineering and engineering; it is larger, enrolling about 5,000 students against roughly 3,000 here, and is public, whereas this institution is private.
  • The comparison with Pohang University of Science and Technology is straightforward on subjects, since both focus on mechanical engineering and engineering, and it also offers doctoral programmes and covers physics and materials as well.
  • In terms of fields, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies is the nearest neighbour, with engineering again at the core; it is also a private institution and also offers doctoral programmes.
  • Where this institution leans on mechanical engineering and engineering, Hongik University does the same, and it is also a private institution and runs the same bachelor's and master's programmes.

Most Similar Schools Abroad

  • Flight Academy of the National Aviation University in Ukraine shares the automation, mechanical engineering and engineering orientation of this institution, and it is public, whereas this institution is private, and runs the same bachelor's and master's programmes.
  • If this university is on your list for automation, mechanical engineering and engineering, Ufa State Aviation Technical University in Russia deserves a comparison, because it is far larger, with about 16,000 students against roughly 3,000 here, and is public, whereas this university is private.
  • On content, SENAI CIMATEC University Center in Brazil and this university are close, as both teach automation and engineering; it is larger, enrolling about 7,000 students against roughly 3,000 here, and is also a private institution.
  • For automation, mechanical engineering and engineering outside the home country, National Aerospace University Kharkiv Aviation Institute in Ukraine is a natural reference; it also offers doctoral programmes and covers aerospace and robotics as well.
  • Abroad, Mauá Institute of Technology (Brazil) covers automation and engineering in a comparable way, and it also offers doctoral programmes and covers computer vision as well.

*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: 

  1. known locally
  2. known locally and internationally
  3. is listed in some of the world university’s classifications
  4. 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 …).
