Most Similar Schools Locally

IE University - School of Science and Technology is the closest domestic counterpart for statistics, mathematics and data analytics; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers computer vision as well.
Escuela de Ingeniería Informática works in much the same fields, chiefly statistics, data analytics and AI and machine learning, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers computer vision as well.
Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of statistics, mathematics and data analytics can consider Facultat de Matemàtiques i Informàtica, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers computer vision as well.
Both schools build their programmes around statistics, data analytics and AI and machine learning, and IMMUNE Technology Institute is the one to compare first within the country, since it covers computer vision as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 500 students against roughly 600 here.
A good alternative in the same country is Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca - Facultad de Informática, which likewise covers data analytics, AI and machine learning and software engineering; it covers telecommunications as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 400 students against roughly 600 here.

Most Similar Schools Abroad

ENSAE Paris brings a France setting to the same core fields, statistics, mathematics and data analytics, and it is public, whereas this institution is private, and does not run the bachelor's programmes found here.
For statistics, mathematics and data analytics outside the home country, John Cabot University in Italy is a natural reference; it is also a private institution and does not run the master's and doctoral programmes found here.
Indian Institute of Technology Bhilai (India) works on the same fields as this institution, chiefly data analytics, AI and machine learning and software engineering; it is public, whereas this institution is private, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
