Most Similar Schools Locally

  • Institut Pierre Simon Laplace overlaps with this institution on astroscience, aerospace and optics, so the two are easy to compare, and it is larger, enrolling about 300 students against roughly 200 here, and is also a public institution.
  • Both schools build their programmes around astroscience, signal processing and fluid dynamics, and Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris is the one to compare first within the country, since it does not run the diploma programmes found here and covers marine science and geotechnics as well.
  • Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur shares the core fields of this school, namely astroscience, aerospace and optics; it covers metrology and marine science as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 100 students against roughly 200 here.
  • Observatoire de Paris - PSL is the closest domestic counterpart for astroscience, aerospace and optics; it covers metrology as well, and has almost the same size, at about 200 students.
  • In terms of fields, ENSG Géomatique is the nearest neighbour, with astroscience, transportations and optics again at the core; it also offers graduate certificate programmes and covers logistics and quality as well.

Most Similar Schools Abroad

  • Looking internationally, Agencia Estatal de Meteorología in Spain is where astroscience, aerospace and signal processing get a comparable treatment; it teaches at the same levels, namely master's, doctoral and diploma, and covers agriculture as well.
  • Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology offers an international parallel to this school, with astroscience, aerospace and transportations as common ground; it is far larger, with about 30,000 students against roughly 200 here, and is also a public institution.
  • For a study option in Switzerland with a comparable spread of signal processing, fluid dynamics and thermodynamics, Eidgenössische Forschungsanstalt für Wald, Schnee und Landschaft is the reference point: it covers metrology and marine science as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 100 students against roughly 200 here.
  • A foreign alternative with a similar emphasis on astroscience, fluid dynamics and thermodynamics is Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas, Medioambientales y Tecnológicas in Spain, and it is smaller, enrolling about 100 students against roughly 200 here, and is also a public institution.
  • Seen from abroad, Russian State Hydrometeorological University (Russia) is a close relative on subject matter, since astroscience, ecology and sustainability and physics are central to both, and it covers marine science and geotechnics as well, and is far larger, with about 4,000 students against roughly 200 here.

*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 …). Refer to all the links provided to have accurate and updated numbers.
