- Federal Institute of Roraima overlaps with this school on computer vision, life sciences and engineering, so the two are easy to compare, and it is smaller, enrolling about 6,000 students against roughly 10,000 here, and is also a public institution.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Abroad, Konkuk University (South Korea) covers computer vision, life sciences and engineering in a comparable way, and it is private, whereas this institution is public, and also offers doctoral programmes.
- Anyang University in South Korea is the nearest foreign match on life sciences and engineering; it is private, whereas this institution is public, and does not run the diploma programmes found here.
- Tel Aviv University, based in Israel, is built around computer vision, life sciences and engineering much like this school, and it is larger, enrolling about 28,500 students against roughly 10,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- For life sciences and engineering outside the home country, National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan is a natural reference; it is also a public institution and also offers doctoral programmes.
- Tehran University of Medical Sciences in Iran shares the life sciences orientation of this institution, and it also offers doctoral programmes and covers bioinformatics and microbiology and genetics 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.
- Engineering, Environmental Impact, Innovation, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Research and Development, Social Engineering
*: 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 …).
