Most Similar Schools Locally
- In terms of fields, ESCOM Chimie is the nearest neighbour, with quality, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics again at the core; it is slightly smaller, at about 600 students against roughly 700 here, and is also a private institution.
- Also strong in food science, quality and bioinformatics, ESTBB makes a sensible second look at home; it also offers bachelor's programmes, and is slightly larger, at about 800 students against roughly 700 here.
- In terms of fields, École d'Ingénieurs de Purpan is the nearest neighbour, with agriculture, food science and quality again at the core; it is also a private institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely master's.
- Among national alternatives, ISTOM stands out for its focus on agriculture, food science and quality, and it covers logistics and AI and machine learning as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 500 students against roughly 700 here.
- Both schools build their programmes around agriculture, food science and quality, and Institut Supérieur d'Agriculture de Lille - JUNIA is the one to compare first within the country, since it is also a private institution and also offers doctoral programmes.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- A foreign alternative with a similar emphasis on food science, quality and microbiology and genetics is School of Engineering and Health in Warsaw in Poland, and it is larger, enrolling about 2,000 students against roughly 700 here, and is also a private institution.
- Hoshi University (Japan) works on the same fields as this institution, chiefly quality, bioinformatics and nanotechnologies; it covers optics and physics as well, and is larger, enrolling about 1,500 students against roughly 700 here.
- Looking internationally, Kumamoto Prefectural University in Japan is where agriculture, food science and quality get a comparable treatment; it also offers bachelor's and doctoral programmes and covers software engineering as well.
- For a study option in Switzerland with a comparable spread of food science, quality and bioinformatics, ZHAW School of Life Sciences und Facility Management is the reference point: it covers optics and signal processing as well, and is larger, enrolling about 2,000 students against roughly 700 here.
- Students considering a move abroad can look at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in the United States, where bioinformatics, microbiology and genetics and bioengineering also form the core, and it is larger, enrolling about 1,261 students against roughly 700 here, and is also a private institution.

*: 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 …).
