Best For
Leading engineering school for electronics, computer science, embedded systems, and energy.
École Supérieure d'Électronique de l'Ouest sits close to this school on quality, optics and signal processing; it is slightly smaller, at about 1,500 students against roughly 2,000 here, and is private, whereas this school is public.
Both schools build their programmes around transportations, quality and signal processing, and ESIEE Amiens is the one to compare first within the country, since it covers logistics as well, and is far smaller, with about 600 students against roughly 2,000 here.
Another national school that puts transportations, nanotechnologies and optics at the centre is École Centrale de Lille, and it covers aerospace and microbiology and genetics as well, and has almost the same size, at about 2,000 students.
École Supérieure de Chimie Physique Électronique de Lyon follows much the same lines as this school, with nanotechnologies, optics and signal processing as common ground, and it is private, whereas this school is public, and runs the same master's and doctoral programmes.
ENSEIRB-MATMECA shares the core fields of this institution, namely nanotechnologies, optics and signal processing; it is smaller, enrolling about 1,300 students against roughly 2,000 here, and is also a public institution.

For a study option in Japan with a comparable spread of transportations, optics and signal processing, Kitami Institute of Technology is the reference point: it also offers bachelor's programmes and covers geotechnics and microbiology and genetics as well.
Okayama Prefectural University in Japan is the nearest foreign match on optics, signal processing and industrial design; it also offers bachelor's programmes and covers ergonomics and UX as well.
A foreign alternative with a similar emphasis on transportations, quality and optics is Koszalin University of Technology in Poland, and it covers geotechnics and civil engineering as well, and is larger, enrolling about 4,000 students against roughly 2,000 here.
Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas brings a Spain setting to the same core fields, quality, nanotechnologies and optics, and it has almost the same size, at about 2,000 students, and is also a public institution.
Looking internationally, Wrocław University of Science and Technology in Poland is where transportations, quality and nanotechnologies get a comparable treatment; it is also a public institution and also offers bachelor's programmes.

*: 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:
