Students aiming for a top-tier education in computer science, telecommunications, or data science/AI at a leading research university.
Barcelona School of Telecommunications Engineering works in much the same fields, chiefly signal processing, computer vision and telecommunications, 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 Escola de Enxeñaría de Telecomunicación, which likewise covers signal processing, computer vision and telecommunications; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and is smaller, enrolling about 1,500 students against roughly 4,000 here.
Escuela de Ingeniería Informática is the closest domestic counterpart for computer vision, data analytics and AI and machine learning; it is also a public institution, 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 Facultade de Informática, and it covers statistics as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 1,800 students against roughly 4,000 here.
La Salle Campus Barcelona - Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería La Salle shares the core fields of this institution, namely computer vision, telecommunications and robotics; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers bioengineering as well.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
On content, Moscow Technical University of Communications and Informatics in Russia and this institution are close, as both teach signal processing, computer vision and telecommunications; it is far larger, with about 12,000 students against roughly 4,000 here, and is also a public institution.
Dnipro State University of Internal Affairs (Ukraine) works on the same fields as this school, chiefly signal processing, computer vision and telecommunications; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and is slightly larger, at about 4,500 students against roughly 4,000 here.
State University of Telecommunications (Ukraine) works on the same fields as this institution, chiefly signal processing, telecommunications and robotics; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and is larger, enrolling about 9,000 students against roughly 4,000 here.
Seen from abroad, Università della Svizzera italiana (Switzerland) is a close relative on subject matter, since signal processing, computer vision and telecommunications are central to both, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers bioinformatics and nanotechnologies as well.
Abroad, Indian Institute of Information Technology Allahabad (India) covers telecommunications, robotics and electrical and electronics in a comparable way, and it also offers mba programmes and covers bioinformatics as well.
