Most Similar Schools Locally

  • On content, Fukuyama University and this institution are close, as both teach food science, transportations and bioinformatics; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers marine science as well.
  • Also strong in aerospace, food science and transportations, Meijo University makes a sensible second look at home; it is slightly larger, at about 15,000 students against roughly 12,000 here, and is also a private institution.
  • In terms of fields, Kanagawa University is the nearest neighbour, with transportations, geotechnics and nanotechnologies again at the core; it is larger, enrolling about 18,000 students against roughly 12,000 here, and is also a private institution.
  • Another national school that puts aerospace, transportations and quality at the centre is Kogakuin University, and it is also a private institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
  • Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of aerospace, transportations and quality can consider Fukuoka University, and it is also a private institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.

Most Similar Schools Abroad

  • Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen, based in Germany, is built around logistics, aerospace and food science much like this institution, and it is public, whereas this institution is private, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
  • Poznań University of Technology, in Poland, takes a similar route through logistics, aerospace and food science; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers sound engineering and metrology as well.
  • Abroad, Warsaw University of Technology (Poland) covers aerospace, transportations and quality in a comparable way, and it is public, whereas this institution is private, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
  • Seen from abroad, Rheinland-Pfälzische Technische Universität Kaiserslautern-Landau (Germany) is a close relative on subject matter, since logistics, aerospace and food science are central to both, and it is larger, enrolling about 19,000 students against roughly 12,000 here, and is public, whereas this institution is private.
  • EPFL in Switzerland is the nearest foreign match on aerospace, bioinformatics and nanotechnologies; it has almost the same size, at about 12,000 students, and is public, whereas this university is private.

*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 …).
