Most Similar Schools Locally

  • Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology is the closest domestic counterpart for ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing; it covers bioinformatics and nanotechnologies as well, and is larger, enrolling about 1,000 students against roughly 400 here.
  • Sapporo City University sits close to this institution on ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing; it also offers bachelor's programmes and covers sound engineering and life sciences as well.
  • Kyoto Institute of Technology follows much the same lines as this school, with ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing as common ground, and it also offers bachelor's programmes and covers aerospace and food science as well.
  • Nara Institute of Science and Technology overlaps with this school on optics, signal processing and structural engineering, so the two are easy to compare, and it runs the same master's and doctoral programmes and covers bioinformatics and nanotechnologies as well.
  • On content, Okayama Prefectural University and this institution are close, as both teach ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing; it also offers bachelor's programmes and covers bioengineering and life sciences as well.

Most Similar Schools Abroad

*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 …).
