Most Similar Schools Locally
- Both schools build their programmes around chemical engineering, civil engineering and ecology and sustainability, and Tver State Technical University is the one to compare first within the country, since it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers software engineering as well.
- Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of civil engineering, ecology and sustainability and materials can consider Moscow State University of Civil Engineering, and it covers geotechnics and structural engineering as well, and is larger, enrolling about 18,000 students against roughly 12,000 here.
- Bryansk State Technical University works in much the same fields, chiefly automation, mechanical engineering and materials, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- Vologda State University sits close to this institution on civil engineering, automation and mechanical engineering; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers electrical and electronics and software engineering as well.
- Volgograd State Technical University overlaps with this university on chemical engineering, automation and ecology and sustainability, so the two are easy to compare, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers software engineering as well.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- For a study option in Ukraine with a comparable spread of civil engineering, automation and ecology and sustainability, Lutsk National Technical University is the reference point: it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers software engineering as well.
- Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture in Ukraine pursues a similar profile in civil engineering, automation and materials, and it is slightly smaller, at about 10,000 students against roughly 12,000 here, and is also a public institution.

*: 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 …).
