Most Similar Schools Locally
- Hochschule für Forstwirtschaft Rottenburg overlaps with this institution on aerospace, agriculture and food science, so the two are easy to compare, and it does not run the doctoral programmes found here, and is smaller, enrolling about 1,000 students against roughly 2,200 here.
- Both schools build their programmes around agriculture, food science and transportations, and Hochschule Neubrandenburg is the one to compare first within the country, since it covers logistics and bioinformatics as well, and has almost the same size, at about 2,000 students.
- A good alternative in the same country is Hochschule Geisenheim University, which likewise covers aerospace, agriculture and food science; it covers logistics and bioinformatics as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 1,700 students against roughly 2,200 here.
- In terms of fields, Bauhaus-Universität Weimar is the nearest neighbour, with transportations, geotechnics and optics again at the core; it covers sound engineering and ergonomics and UX as well, and is larger, enrolling about 4,000 students against roughly 2,200 here.
- Also strong in geotechnics, optics and fluid dynamics, Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg makes a sensible second look at home; it is larger, enrolling about 4,000 students against roughly 2,200 here, and is also a public institution.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- On content, University of Agriculture in Krakow in Poland and this institution are close, as both teach aerospace, agriculture and food science; it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- For a study option in France with a comparable spread of agriculture, food science and geotechnics, AgroParisTech is the reference point: it is slightly larger, at about 2,500 students against roughly 2,200 here, and is also a public institution.
- On content, Beijing Forestry University in China and this institution are close, as both teach agriculture, food science and geotechnics; it covers bioinformatics and microbiology and genetics as well, and is far larger, with about 18,000 students against roughly 2,200 here.
- Students considering a move abroad can look at Nanjing Forestry University in China, where agriculture, food science and geotechnics also form the core, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers bioinformatics and microbiology and genetics as well.
- The closest overseas parallel on food science, transportations and geotechnics is Shiga Prefectural University, located in Japan; it is slightly larger, at about 2,500 students against roughly 2,200 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:
- 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 …).
