Most Similar Schools Locally
- Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences shares the core fields of this institution, namely sound engineering, metrology and ergonomics and UX; it covers nanotechnologies as well, and is slightly larger, at about 18,000 students against roughly 15,000 here.
- Think of Hochschule Bochum - Bochum University of Applied Sciences when aerospace, transportations and quality is the priority: it is smaller, enrolling about 8,000 students against roughly 15,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Another national school that puts sound engineering, metrology and ergonomics and UX at the centre is Berliner Hochschule für Technik, and it covers food science and bioinformatics as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 13,000 students against roughly 15,000 here.
- Hochschule RheinMain University of Applied Sciences is the closest domestic counterpart for sound engineering, ergonomics and UX and logistics; it is also a public institution and does not run the mba programmes found here.
- A good alternative in the same country is Ostfalia Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften, which likewise covers sound engineering, ergonomics and UX and logistics; it covers food science as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 12,000 students against roughly 15,000 here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Students considering a move abroad can look at Shibaura Institute of Technology in Japan, where aerospace, transportations and optics also form the core, and it is smaller, enrolling about 9,000 students against roughly 15,000 here, and is private, whereas this institution is public.
- Université Gustave Eiffel in France shares the logistics, aerospace and transportations orientation of this institution, and it is slightly larger, at about 17,000 students against roughly 15,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Kobe University in Japan shares the logistics, transportations and optics orientation of this university, and it has almost the same size, at about 16,000 students, and is also a public institution.
- For metrology, aerospace and transportations outside the home country, Cracow University of Technology in Poland is a natural reference; it also offers doctoral programmes and covers nanotechnologies as well.
- University of Zielona Góra, based in Poland, is built around sound engineering, metrology and aerospace much like this institution, and it is smaller, enrolling about 10,000 students against roughly 15,000 here, and is also a public institution.
*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.
- Architecture, Civil Engineering, Engineering, Renewable Energy, Robotics, Sustainable Development
*: 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 …).
