Most Similar Schools Locally
- Both schools build their programmes around logistics, transportations and quality, and ESITC Paris is the one to compare first within the country, since it teaches at the same levels, namely master's, and covers geotechnics as well.
- On content, Hautes Études d'Ingénieur Lille - JUNIA and this school are close, as both teach logistics, aerospace and transportations; it is larger, enrolling about 2,500 students against roughly 1,500 here, and is also a private institution.
- EPF École d'Ingénieurs takes a similar route through aerospace, transportations and fluid dynamics, and it covers optics and signal processing as well, and is larger, enrolling about 2,500 students against roughly 1,500 here.
- ECE École d'Ingénieurs offers a comparable education in logistics, aerospace and transportations: it is larger, enrolling about 3,000 students against roughly 1,500 here, and is also a private institution.
- A good alternative in the same country is ECAM Strasbourg-Europe, which likewise covers quality, fluid dynamics and industrial design; it runs the same master's programmes, and is smaller, enrolling about 500 students against roughly 1,500 here.

*: 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 …).
