Most Similar Schools Locally
- ESITC Bordeaux works in much the same fields, chiefly logistics, transportations and quality, and it is smaller, enrolling about 300 students against roughly 600 here, and is also a private institution.
- For students who like the logistics, transportations and quality focus of this institution but want another option nearby, ESITC Caen fits well: it runs the same master's programmes, and is slightly smaller, at about 500 students against roughly 600 here.
- ESITC Lyon works in much the same fields, chiefly logistics, transportations and quality, and it runs the same master's programmes, and is smaller, enrolling about 350 students against roughly 600 here.
- Both schools build their programmes around logistics, transportations and quality, and ISBA-TP is the one to compare first within the country, since it teaches at the same levels, namely master's, and is smaller, enrolling about 200 students against roughly 600 here.
- ESITC Paris takes a similar route through logistics, transportations and quality, and it teaches at the same levels, namely master's, and covers AI and machine learning as well.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Looking internationally, Berner Fachhochschule, Departement Architektur, Holz und Bau in Switzerland is where quality, geotechnics and industrial design get a comparable treatment; it is public, whereas this institution is private, and also offers bachelor's programmes.
- The closest overseas parallel on logistics, transportations and quality is Technische Hochschule Georg Agricola, located in Germany; it is also a private institution and also offers bachelor's programmes.
- The closest overseas parallel on quality, geotechnics and fluid dynamics is FHNW Hochschule für Architektur, Bau und Geomatik, located in Switzerland; it covers metrology and optics as well, and is larger, enrolling about 1,500 students against roughly 600 here.
- A foreign alternative with a similar emphasis on logistics, transportations and geotechnics is Hochschule für Technik Stuttgart in Germany, and it covers astroscience and optics as well, and is far larger, with about 4,000 students against roughly 600 here.
- For a study option in Japan with a comparable spread of transportations, geotechnics and fluid dynamics, Hiroshima Kokusai Gakuin University is the reference point: it also offers bachelor's programmes and covers bioinformatics and microbiology and genetics as well.
*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 …).
