Most Similar Schools Locally

Where this university leans on agriculture, food science and bioinformatics, Facultad de Ciencias Biológicas y Ambientales does the same, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
Facultad de Ciencias Biológicas overlaps with this institution on food science, bioinformatics and microbiology and genetics, so the two are easy to compare, and it covers nanotechnologies as well, and is larger, enrolling about 5,000 students against roughly 2,500 here.
Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias y Ambientales is the closest domestic counterpart for agriculture, food science and microbiology and genetics; it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
On content, Universidad de Vic - Universidad Central de Cataluña - Facultad de Ciencias y Tecnología and this institution are close, as both teach food science, bioinformatics and microbiology and genetics; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers computer vision and robotics as well.
A good alternative in the same country is Facultad de Ciencias Físicas, which likewise covers physics, materials and data analytics; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers astroscience and aerospace as well.

Most Similar Schools Abroad

Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands pursues a similar profile in agriculture, food science and bioinformatics, and it is far larger, with about 13,000 students against roughly 2,500 here, and is also a public institution.
Università degli Studi di Teramo, in Italy, takes a similar route through agriculture, food science and bioinformatics; it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel) works on the same fields as this institution, chiefly bioinformatics, microbiology and genetics and chemistry; it is also a public institution and does not run the bachelor's programmes found here.
Beyond national borders, Norwegian University of Life Sciences stands out as a comparable school for agriculture, food science and microbiology and genetics; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers life sciences as well.
Seen from abroad, AgroParisTech (France) is a close relative on subject matter, since agriculture, food science and bioinformatics are central to both, and it is also a public institution and does not run the bachelor's programmes found here.
