Most Similar Schools Locally

  • A good alternative in the same country is Pedagogical University of Cracow, which likewise covers astroscience, geotechnics and optics; it is far larger, with about 15,000 students against roughly 4,000 here, and is also a public institution.
  • Jan Długosz University in Częstochowa takes a similar route through optics, fluid dynamics and structural engineering, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics as well.
  • Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce shares the core fields of this university, namely astroscience, geotechnics and optics; it covers bioinformatics and nanotechnologies as well, and is larger, enrolling about 11,000 students against roughly 4,000 here.
  • Another national school that puts marine science, geotechnics and optics at the centre is West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin, and it is larger, enrolling about 10,000 students against roughly 4,000 here, and is also a public institution.
  • For students who like the marine science, geotechnics and optics focus of this university but want another option nearby, Maritime University of Szczecin fits well: it covers logistics and transportations as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 3,500 students against roughly 4,000 here.

Most Similar Schools Abroad

  • École Normale Supérieure de Lyon in France pursues a similar profile in astroscience, geotechnics and optics, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers bioinformatics and nanotechnologies as well.
  • A foreign alternative with a similar emphasis on geotechnics, fluid dynamics and structural engineering is Université de Neuchâtel in Switzerland, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers bioinformatics and microbiology and genetics as well.
  • Seen from abroad, Université de Corse Pasquale Paoli (France) is a close relative on subject matter, since fluid dynamics, structural engineering and bioengineering are central to both, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers automation and manufacturing as well.
  • In Japan, Kochi University teaches much the same core subjects, astroscience, marine science and geotechnics, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers agriculture and food science as well.
  • Looking internationally, Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg in Germany is where geotechnics, optics and fluid dynamics get a comparable treatment; it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.

*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 …).
