Most Similar Schools Locally
- Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of logistics, transportations and geotechnics can consider École des Ponts ParisTech, and it is far larger, with about 2,000 students against roughly 500 here, and is also a public institution.
- Think of École Nationale des Travaux Publics de l'État when logistics, transportations and quality is the priority: it runs the same master's and doctoral programmes and covers physics as well.
- ESITC Paris follows much the same lines as this institution, with logistics, transportations and quality as common ground, and it is slightly larger, at about 600 students against roughly 500 here, and is private, whereas this institution is public.
- In terms of fields, IFP School is the nearest neighbour, with logistics, transportations and quality again at the core; it runs the same master's and doctoral programmes and covers marine science and aerospace as well.
- Among national alternatives, ENGEES stands out for its focus on quality, geotechnics and fluid dynamics, and it teaches at the same levels, namely master's and doctoral, and covers microbiology and genetics and chemistry as well.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- If this school is on your list for logistics, transportations and quality, HafenCity Universität Hamburg in Germany deserves a comparison, because it is far larger, with about 2,500 students against roughly 500 here, and is also a public institution.
- Students considering a move abroad can look at Advanced Institute of Industrial Technology in Japan, where logistics, transportations and quality also form the core, and it covers ergonomics and UX and optics as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 400 students against roughly 500 here.
- Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology, based in China, is built around transportations, geotechnics and fluid dynamics much like this institution, and it is also a public institution and also offers bachelor's programmes.
- The Main School of Fire Service offers an international parallel to this school, with logistics, transportations and quality as common ground; it is also a public institution and also offers bachelor's programmes.
- The closest overseas parallel on quality, fluid dynamics and civil engineering is Empa - Eidgenössische Materialprüfungs- und Forschungsanstalt, located in Switzerland; it is smaller, enrolling about 200 students against roughly 500 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.
- Civil Engineering, Construction Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Renewable Energy, Smart Grid Demand Response, Sustainable Development, Sustainable Practices
*: 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 …).
