Most Similar Schools Locally

  • On content, CVO Provincie Antwerpen and this school are close, as both teach industrial design, automation and manufacturing; it has almost the same size, at about 7,000 students, and is also a public institution.
  • Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of industrial design, manufacturing and mechanical engineering can consider CVO Encora, and it is far larger, with about 25,000 students against roughly 6,500 here, and is also a public institution.
  • Among national alternatives, CVO Crescendo stands out for its focus on industrial design, automation and mechanical engineering, and it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely associate degree, certificate and diploma.
  • CVO Groeipunt sits close to this school on industrial design, automation and manufacturing; it teaches at the same levels, namely associate degree, certificate and diploma, and is larger, enrolling about 15,000 students against roughly 6,500 here.
  • Both schools build their programmes around industrial design, automation and manufacturing, and CVO De Verdieping is the one to compare first within the country, since it is also a public institution and does not run the associate degree programmes found here.

Most Similar Schools Abroad

  • For a study option in Denmark with a comparable spread of automation, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics, Technical Education Copenhagen is the reference point: it covers transportations and civil engineering as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 4,500 students against roughly 6,500 here.
  • Exeter College (the United Kingdom) works on the same fields as this institution, chiefly industrial design, manufacturing and software engineering; it is larger, enrolling about 12,000 students against roughly 6,500 here, and is also a public institution.
  • For a study option in Finland with a comparable spread of industrial design, automation and mechanical engineering, Tampere University of Applied Sciences is the reference point: it is larger, enrolling about 10,000 students against roughly 6,500 here, and is also a public institution.
  • Students considering a move abroad can look at Bedford College in the United Kingdom, where industrial design, manufacturing and software engineering also form the core, and it covers life sciences and data analytics as well, and is larger, enrolling about 16,000 students against roughly 6,500 here.
  • Saskatchewan Polytechnic, based in Canada, is built around automation, manufacturing and electrical and electronics much like this school, and it is far larger, with about 28,000 students against roughly 6,500 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.

*: 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: 

  1. known locally
  2. known locally and internationally
  3. is listed in some of the world university’s classifications
  4. 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 …).
