- If this institution is on your list for optics, signal processing and computer vision, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications in China deserves a comparison, because it also offers bachelor's programmes and covers statistics as well.
- Students considering a move abroad can look at University of Aizu in Japan, where optics, signal processing and computer vision also form the core, and it is slightly larger, at about 1,200 students against roughly 1,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Hiroshima City University in Japan is the nearest foreign match on optics, signal processing and computer vision; it also offers bachelor's programmes and covers sound engineering and ergonomics and UX as well.
- For a study option in Spain with a comparable spread of signal processing, computer vision and telecommunications, Escola de Enxeñaría de Telecomunicación is the reference point: it is also a public institution and also offers bachelor's programmes.
*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.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Electronics, Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning, Robotics, Signal Processing
*: 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 …).
