Most Similar Schools Locally
- Where this school leans on quality, optics and signal processing, École Supérieure d'Électronique de l'Ouest does the same, and it is slightly smaller, at about 1,500 students against roughly 2,000 here, and is also a private institution.
- ESME overlaps with this institution on logistics, aerospace and transportations, so the two are easy to compare, and it is also a private institution and does not run the doctoral programmes found here.
- The comparison with ESIEE Paris is straightforward on subjects, since both focus on transportations, quality and optics, and it teaches at the same levels, namely master's and doctoral, and covers nanotechnologies and ecology and sustainability as well.
- Among national alternatives, ESTIA stands out for its focus on logistics, aerospace and transportations, and it covers ergonomics and UX and ecology and sustainability as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 900 students against roughly 2,000 here.
- École Supérieure de Chimie Physique Électronique de Lyon sits close to this school on optics, signal processing and fluid dynamics; it is also a private institution and runs the same master's and doctoral programmes.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Students considering a move abroad can look at Tokyo Denki University in Japan, where transportations, optics and signal processing also form the core, and it is far larger, with about 10,000 students against roughly 2,000 here, and is also a private institution.
- Fukuoka Institute of Technology offers an international parallel to this school, with transportations, optics and signal processing as common ground; it covers nanotechnologies and civil engineering as well, and is larger, enrolling about 5,000 students against roughly 2,000 here.
- Constructor University offers an international parallel to this school, with logistics, aerospace and transportations as common ground; it covers marine science and bioinformatics as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 1,600 students against roughly 2,000 here.
- In Germany, Hochschule Karlsruhe – Technik und Wirtschaft teaches much the same core subjects, logistics, aerospace and transportations, and it covers metrology and geotechnics as well, and is far larger, with about 8,000 students against roughly 2,000 here.
- If this institution is on your list for optics, signal processing and fluid dynamics, State Higher Vocational School in Tarnów in Poland deserves a comparison, because it also offers bachelor's programmes and covers nanotechnologies and chemistry as well.
*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.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI), Electronics, Internet of Things (IoT), Robotics
*: 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 …).
