Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Seen from abroad, Sunchon National University (South Korea) is a close relative on subject matter, since agriculture and engineering are central to both, and it is also a public institution and also offers doctoral programmes.
- The closest overseas parallel on agriculture and engineering is Andong National University, located in South Korea; it has almost the same size, at about 9,000 students, and is also a public institution.
- If this school is on your list for agriculture and engineering, National University of Cuyo in Argentina deserves a comparison, because it also offers doctoral programmes and covers food science and industrial design as well.
- University of Adelaide offers an international parallel to this institution, with agriculture and engineering as common ground; it also offers doctoral, graduate certificate and mba programmes, and covers food science and chemistry as well.
- Bila Tserkva National Agrarian University brings a Ukraine setting to the same core fields, agriculture and engineering, and it covers food science and bioengineering as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 7,000 students against roughly 8,500 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 …).
