Most Similar Schools Locally
- Think of University of Białystok when nanotechnologies, microbiology and genetics and optics is the priority: it covers astroscience and bioinformatics as well, and is slightly larger, at about 9,000 students against roughly 8,000 here.
- Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of transportations, quality and geotechnics can consider Lublin University of Technology, and it has almost the same size, at about 8,000 students, and is also a public institution.
- For students who like the food science, transportations and geotechnics focus of this university but want another option nearby, University of Rzeszów fits well: it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- For students who like the logistics, food science and transportations focus of this university but want another option nearby, Czestochowa University of Technology fits well: it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- Among national alternatives, University of Zielona Góra stands out for its focus on food science, transportations and geotechnics, and it covers sound engineering and metrology as well, and is slightly larger, at about 10,000 students against roughly 8,000 here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (Germany) works on the same fields as this institution, chiefly logistics, food science and transportations; it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- Yokohama National University, in Japan, takes a similar route through logistics, transportations and geotechnics; it covers marine science as well, and is slightly larger, at about 10,000 students against roughly 8,000 here.
- NEU brings a China setting to the same core fields, nanotechnologies, microbiology and genetics and optics, and it covers bioinformatics as well, and is far larger, with about 48,000 students against roughly 8,000 here.
- Students considering a move abroad can look at Beijing University of Technology in China, where transportations, geotechnics and nanotechnologies also form the core, and it covers bioinformatics as well, and is far larger, with about 25,000 students against roughly 8,000 here.
- Tokyo Metropolitan University in Japan is the nearest foreign match on transportations, geotechnics and nanotechnologies; it is slightly larger, at about 9,000 students against roughly 8,000 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 …).
