- Also strong in food science, bioinformatics and geotechnics, Université de Caen Normandie makes a sensible second look at home; it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- Université de Poitiers is the closest domestic counterpart for food science, bioinformatics and geotechnics; it has almost the same size, at about 30,000 students, and is also a public institution.
- Among national alternatives, Université de Lille stands out for its focus on food science, bioinformatics and geotechnics, and it covers astroscience and aerospace as well, and is larger, enrolling about 74,000 students against roughly 32,000 here.
- For students who like the bioinformatics, microbiology and genetics and fluid dynamics focus of this institution but want another option nearby, Université de Picardie Jules Verne fits well: it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and has almost the same size, at about 32,000 students.
- Université de Tours takes a similar route through food science, bioinformatics and nanotechnologies, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- University of Łódź (Poland) works on the same fields as this institution, chiefly bioinformatics, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers astroscience and signal processing as well.
- For bioinformatics, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics outside the home country, University of Wrocław in Poland is a natural reference; it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- Beyond national borders, Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg stands out as a comparable school for bioinformatics, geotechnics and nanotechnologies; it covers astroscience and signal processing as well, and has almost the same size, at about 29,000 students.
- Fuzhou University in China pursues a similar profile in food science, bioinformatics and geotechnics, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers signal processing and industrial design as well.
- Students considering a move abroad can look at Sichuan University in China, where food science, bioinformatics and geotechnics also form the core, and it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
*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 …).
