Most Similar Schools Locally

  • A good alternative in the same country is CIFP Ponferrada, which likewise covers robotics, automation and manufacturing; it is slightly smaller, at about 600 students against roughly 700 here, and is also a public institution.
  • Among national alternatives, Centro Integrado de Formación Profesional de Cerdeño stands out for its focus on robotics, automation and manufacturing, and it teaches at the same levels, namely diploma, and has almost the same size, at about 700 students.
  • Both schools build their programmes around robotics, automation and manufacturing, and Centro Integrado de Formación Profesional de Mantenimiento y Servicios a la Producción de Langreo is the one to compare first within the country, since it is also a public institution and runs the same diploma programmes.
  • Where this institution leans on robotics, automation and manufacturing, IES Politécnico de Vigo does the same, and it is larger, enrolling about 1,100 students against roughly 700 here, and is also a public institution.
  • CIFP Politécnico de Santiago offers a comparable education in robotics, automation and mechanical engineering: it is slightly larger, at about 1,000 students against roughly 700 here, and is also a public institution.

Most Similar Schools Abroad

  • Cégep de Sorel-Tracy offers an international parallel to this institution, with robotics, automation and manufacturing as common ground; it covers materials as well, and is larger, enrolling about 1,500 students against roughly 700 here.
  • Abroad, Cégep de Granby (Canada) covers robotics, automation and manufacturing in a comparable way, and it is far larger, with about 2,500 students against roughly 700 here, and is also a public institution.
  • Istituto Tecnico Superiore Meccatronica Piemonte, in Italy, takes a similar route through robotics, automation and manufacturing; it is slightly smaller, at about 500 students against roughly 700 here, and is also a public institution.
  • Istituto Tecnico Superiore Meccatronico Veneto offers an international parallel to this school, with robotics, automation and manufacturing as common ground; it is also a public institution and runs the same diploma programmes.
  • If this institution is on your list for robotics, automation and manufacturing, BZWU Berufs- und Weiterbildungszentrum Wil-Uzwil, Höhere Fachschulen Technik in Switzerland deserves a comparison, because it is smaller, enrolling about 400 students against roughly 700 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: 

  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 …).
