Most Similar Schools Locally
- Federal Institute of Rio de Janeiro works in much the same fields, chiefly project management, computer vision and engineering, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and diploma, and is larger, enrolling about 20,000 students against roughly 7,000 here.
- In terms of fields, Federal Institute of São Paulo is the nearest neighbour, with project management, computer vision and engineering again at the core; it is far larger, with about 30,000 students against roughly 7,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Both schools build their programmes around project management and engineering, and Federal Institute of Southeast Minas Gerais is the one to compare first within the country, since it runs the same bachelor's, master's and diploma programmes, and covers manufacturing as well.
- Federal Institute of Minas Gerais offers a comparable education in computer vision and engineering: it covers automation as well, and is larger, enrolling about 15,000 students against roughly 7,000 here.
- The comparison with Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro is straightforward on subjects, since both focus on project management, computer vision and engineering, and it is larger, enrolling about 12,000 students against roughly 7,000 here, and is private, whereas this school is public.

*: 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 …).
