Most Similar Schools Locally
- On content, ECAM Rennes - Louis de Broglie and this institution are close, as both teach quality, fluid dynamics and industrial design; it does not run the doctoral programmes found here and covers logistics and aerospace as well.
- On content, École Centrale de Nantes and this school are close, as both teach fluid dynamics, industrial design and structural engineering; it is slightly larger, at about 2,500 students against roughly 2,000 here, and is public, whereas this school is private.
- Also strong in fluid dynamics, industrial design and structural engineering, École Centrale de Lyon makes a sensible second look at home; it is public, whereas this school is private, and teaches at the same levels, namely master's and doctoral.
- Also strong in quality, fluid dynamics and industrial design, ESTIA makes a sensible second look at home; it is also a private institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely master's and doctoral.
- Among national alternatives, Hautes Études d'Ingénieur Lille - JUNIA stands out for its focus on quality, fluid dynamics and industrial design, and it covers ergonomics and UX and logistics as well, and is slightly larger, at about 2,500 students against roughly 2,000 here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- For a study option in Japan with a comparable spread of fluid dynamics, industrial design and structural engineering, Ashikaga University is the reference point: it is also a private institution and also offers bachelor's programmes.
- For a study option in Japan with a comparable spread of fluid dynamics, industrial design and structural engineering, Maebashi Institute of Technology is the reference point: it covers bioinformatics and microbiology and genetics as well, and has almost the same size, at about 2,000 students.
- Constructor University offers an international parallel to this institution, with quality, fluid dynamics and industrial design as common ground; it is also a private institution and also offers bachelor's programmes.
- Hochschule Aschaffenburg University of Applied Sciences brings a Germany setting to the same core fields, quality, fluid dynamics and industrial design, and it is larger, enrolling about 3,500 students against roughly 2,000 here, and is public, whereas this school is private.
- Seen from abroad, State University of Applied Sciences in Konin (Poland) is a close relative on subject matter, since quality, fluid dynamics and industrial design are central to both, and it also offers bachelor's programmes and covers logistics and transportations 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 …).
