Most Similar Schools Locally
- ECE École d'Ingénieurs shares the core fields of this school, namely aerospace, transportations and optics; it covers logistics as well, and is slightly larger, at about 3,000 students against roughly 2,500 here.
- Both schools build their programmes around aerospace, transportations and optics, and Hautes Études d'Ingénieur Lille - JUNIA is the one to compare first within the country, since it covers ergonomics and UX and logistics as well, and has almost the same size, at about 2,500 students.
- ESTACA offers a comparable education in aerospace, transportations and optics: it is slightly smaller, at about 2,200 students against roughly 2,500 here, and is also a private institution.
- The comparison with ESILV is straightforward on subjects, since both focus on optics, signal processing and fluid dynamics, and it has almost the same size, at about 2,500 students, and is also a private institution.
- A good alternative in the same country is ESME, which likewise covers aerospace, transportations and optics; it covers logistics as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 2,000 students against roughly 2,500 here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Students considering a move abroad can look at Hiroshima Kokusai Gakuin University in Japan, where transportations, optics and signal processing also form the core, and it is also a private institution and also offers bachelor's programmes.
- Tohoku Bunka Gakuen University, in Japan, takes a similar route through optics, signal processing and fluid dynamics; it is slightly smaller, at about 2,000 students against roughly 2,500 here, and is also a private institution.
- If this school is on your list for transportations, optics and signal processing, University of Ecology and Management in Warsaw in Poland deserves a comparison, because it is larger, enrolling about 4,000 students against roughly 2,500 here, and is also a private institution.
- On content, SRH Hochschule Berlin in Germany and this school are close, as both teach aerospace, transportations and optics; it also offers bachelor's and mba programmes and covers sound engineering and ergonomics and UX as well.
- In Germany, Hochschule Zittau/Görlitz teaches much the same core subjects, optics, signal processing and fluid dynamics, and it is slightly larger, at about 3,000 students against roughly 2,500 here, and is public, whereas this institution is private.
*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 …).
