Most Similar Schools Locally
- EPITECH sits close to this institution on ergonomics and UX, quality and signal processing; it is also a private institution and does not run the mba programmes found here.
- ESGI sits close to this school on ergonomics and UX, quality and signal processing; it is smaller, enrolling about 2,000 students against roughly 3,000 here, and is also a private institution.
- Both schools build their programmes around ergonomics and UX, quality and signal processing, and EFREI Paris is the one to compare first within the country, since it covers finance and logistics as well, and is slightly larger, at about 3,500 students against roughly 3,000 here.
- Where this institution leans on ergonomics and UX, quality and signal processing, ESIEA does the same, and it also offers doctoral programmes and covers optics and process control as well.
- 3iL Ingénieurs overlaps with this institution on ergonomics and UX, quality and signal processing, so the two are easy to compare, and it is also a private institution and does not run the mba programmes found here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- University of Information Technology and Management in Rzeszów in Poland shares the ergonomics and UX, quality and signal processing orientation of this school, and it also offers bachelor's programmes and covers logistics and transportations as well.
- A foreign alternative with a similar emphasis on quality, signal processing and project management is Warsaw School of Computer Science in Poland, and it also offers bachelor's programmes, and is smaller, enrolling about 1,500 students against roughly 3,000 here.
- Tokyo University of Information Sciences (Japan) works on the same fields as this institution, chiefly ergonomics and UX, signal processing and project management; it covers sound engineering and optics as well, and has almost the same size, at about 3,000 students.
- If this school is on your list for quality, signal processing and project management, Hochschule Luzern, Departement Informatik in Switzerland deserves a comparison, because it covers ergonomics and bioinformatics as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 1,500 students against roughly 3,000 here.
- A foreign alternative with a similar emphasis on ergonomics and UX, project management and computer vision is Hochschule Worms - University of Applied Sciences in Germany, and it covers logistics and aerospace as well, and is slightly larger, at about 3,500 students against roughly 3,000 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 …).
