Most Similar Schools Locally
- On content, École Nationale d'Ingénieurs de Brest and this school are close, as both teach ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing; it is public, whereas this school is private, and runs the same master's and doctoral programmes.
- ISEP takes a similar route through ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing, and it does not run the doctoral programmes found here, and has almost the same size, at about 1,200 students.
- The comparison with École Supérieure d'Électronique de l'Ouest is straightforward on subjects, since both focus on ergonomics and UX, quality and optics, and it is also a private institution and runs the same master's and doctoral programmes.
- In terms of fields, ISEN Lille is the nearest neighbour, with ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing again at the core; it covers nanotechnologies and bioengineering as well, and is larger, enrolling about 2,000 students against roughly 1,200 here.
- ENSEA overlaps with this school on optics, signal processing and computer vision, so the two are easy to compare, and it runs the same master's and doctoral programmes, and is slightly smaller, at about 1,000 students against roughly 1,200 here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Seen from abroad, University of Aizu (Japan) is a close relative on subject matter, since ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing are central to both, and it has almost the same size, at about 1,200 students, and is public, whereas this school is private.
- Abroad, Tokyo University of Information Sciences (Japan) covers ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing in a comparable way, and it is larger, enrolling about 3,000 students against roughly 1,200 here, and is also a private institution.
- Warsaw School of Computer Science in Poland pursues a similar profile in quality, signal processing and project management, and it is slightly larger, at about 1,500 students against roughly 1,200 here, and is also a private institution.
- Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications in China shares the ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing orientation of this institution, and it is far larger, with about 27,000 students against roughly 1,200 here, and is public, whereas this institution is private.
- La Salle Campus Barcelona - Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería La Salle brings a Spain setting to the same core fields, computer vision, telecommunications and robotics, and it is slightly larger, at about 1,500 students against roughly 1,200 here, and is also a private institution.

*: 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 …).
