Most Similar Schools Locally
- Think of Barcelona School of Telecommunications Engineering when signal processing, computer vision and telecommunications is the priority: it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers nanotechnologies and optics as well.
- A good alternative in the same country is Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenierías Informática y de Telecomunicación, which likewise covers signal processing, computer vision and telecommunications; it covers software engineering as well, and is larger, enrolling about 4,000 students against roughly 1,500 here.
- La Salle Campus Barcelona - Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería La Salle offers a comparable education in computer vision, telecommunications and robotics: it is private, whereas this institution is public, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- Another national school that puts computer vision, data analytics and AI and machine learning at the centre is Escola Superior de Enxeñaría Informática, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- A good alternative in the same country is Facultad de Ciencias Físicas, which likewise covers signal processing, electrical and electronics and data analytics; it is larger, enrolling about 3,000 students against roughly 1,500 here, and is also a public institution.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- The closest overseas parallel on signal processing, computer vision and telecommunications is ISTIC, located in France; it has almost the same size, at about 1,500 students, and is also a public institution.
- Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (India) works on the same fields as this university, chiefly electrical and electronics, data analytics and AI and machine learning; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers bioengineering and materials as well.
- ENSEA, in France, takes a similar route through signal processing, computer vision and telecommunications; it does not run the bachelor's programmes found here and covers optics and process control as well.
- Students considering a move abroad can look at Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications in China, where signal processing, computer vision and telecommunications also form the core, and it covers optics and process control as well, and is far larger, with about 30,000 students against roughly 1,500 here.
- The closest overseas parallel on signal processing, telecommunications and robotics is Indian Institute of Information Technology Guwahati, located in India; it covers software engineering as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 600 students against roughly 1,500 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 …).
