- ENSICAEN shares the core fields of this institution, namely optics, signal processing and fluid dynamics; it is slightly smaller, at about 900 students against roughly 1,200 here, and is also a public institution.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas offers an international parallel to this school, with metrology, quality and geotechnics as common ground; it is larger, enrolling about 2,000 students against roughly 1,200 here, and is also a public institution.
- If this institution is on your list for quality, geotechnics and optics, Koszalin University of Technology in Poland deserves a comparison, because it covers transportations and bioengineering as well, and is far larger, with about 4,000 students against roughly 1,200 here.
- For a study option in Poland with a comparable spread of quality, geotechnics and optics, Kielce University of Technology is the reference point: it is far larger, with about 4,000 students against roughly 1,200 here, and is also a public institution.
- A foreign alternative with a similar emphasis on metrology, geotechnics and optics is Universität Siegen in Germany, and it covers transportations and nanotechnologies as well, and is far larger, with about 17,000 students against roughly 1,200 here.
- If this school is on your list for quality, geotechnics and optics, HafenCity Universität Hamburg in Germany deserves a comparison, because it covers logistics and transportations as well, and is larger, enrolling about 2,500 students against roughly 1,200 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:
- 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 …).
