Most Similar Schools Locally
- Also strong in ergonomics and UX, logistics and aerospace, Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin makes a sensible second look at home; it covers sound engineering and food science as well, and is larger, enrolling about 14,000 students against roughly 5,000 here.
- Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft des Saarlandes follows much the same lines as this school, with logistics, aerospace and transportations as common ground, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and mba programmes, and is slightly larger, at about 6,000 students against roughly 5,000 here.
- Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences shares the core fields of this school, namely ergonomics and UX, logistics and aerospace; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and mba programmes, and covers sound engineering and metrology as well.
- Hochschule Karlsruhe – Technik und Wirtschaft follows much the same lines as this institution, with logistics, aerospace and transportations as common ground, and it is also a public institution and also offers doctoral programmes.
- Where this school leans on logistics, transportations and optics, Hochschule Konstanz Technik, Wirtschaft und Gestaltung does the same, and it has almost the same size, at about 5,000 students, and is also a public institution.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- For a study option in Japan with a comparable spread of optics, signal processing and fluid dynamics, Wakayama University is the reference point: it is also a public institution and also offers doctoral programmes.
- University of Kitakyushu in Japan pursues a similar profile in transportations, geotechnics and optics, and it is slightly smaller, at about 4,000 students against roughly 5,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Scuola universitaria professionale della Svizzera italiana in Switzerland pursues a similar profile in geotechnics, optics and signal processing, and it is also a public institution and also offers diploma programmes.
- For aerospace, optics and signal processing outside the home country, ZHAW School of Engineering in Switzerland is a natural reference; it is also a public institution and does not run the mba programmes found here.
- Looking internationally, State University of Applied Sciences in Krosno in Poland is where aerospace, transportations and geotechnics get a comparable treatment; it does not run the mba programmes found here and covers food science and quality 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.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI), Automotive, Environmental Engineering, Renewable Energy, Robotics, Software, User-Centered 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 …).
