Most Similar Schools Locally
- École de Biologie Industrielle Cergy works in much the same fields, chiefly food science, quality and bioinformatics, and it does not run the bachelor's programmes found here and covers agriculture and ecology and sustainability as well.
- A good alternative in the same country is ESTBA, which likewise covers food science, quality and bioinformatics; it is public, whereas this institution is private, and also offers associate degree programmes.
- Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of food science, quality and bioinformatics can consider ESPAS Paris, and it is smaller, enrolling about 400 students against roughly 800 here, and is also a private institution.
- Among national alternatives, École d'Ingénieurs de Purpan stands out for its focus on food science, quality and bioinformatics, and it is also a private institution and does not run the bachelor's programmes found here.

*: 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 …).
