Most Similar Schools Locally
- Facultad de Ciencias Físicas follows much the same lines as this university, with nanotechnologies, physics and mathematics as common ground, and it has almost the same size, at about 3,000 students, and is also a public institution.
- Facultad de Ciencias Biológicas is the closest domestic counterpart for food science, bioinformatics and nanotechnologies; it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- Another national school that puts agriculture, food science and bioinformatics at the centre is Facultad de Ciencias Biológicas y Ambientales, and it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas follows much the same lines as this university, with agriculture, food science and bioinformatics as common ground, and it is smaller, enrolling about 2,000 students against roughly 3,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Also strong in food science, nanotechnologies and chemistry, Facultad de Ciencias y Tecnologías Químicas makes a sensible second look at home; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers process control as well.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Abroad, Indian Institute of Science (India) covers physics, mathematics and materials in a comparable way, and it covers aerospace and life sciences as well, and is larger, enrolling about 4,500 students against roughly 3,000 here.
- Students considering a move abroad can look at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv in Ukraine, where nanotechnologies, chemistry and ecology and sustainability also form the core, and it is far larger, with about 26,000 students against roughly 3,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- École Normale Supérieure de Lyon in France pursues a similar profile in bioinformatics, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics, and it is slightly smaller, at about 2,300 students against roughly 3,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Beyond national borders, Universität Zürich stands out as a comparable school for bioinformatics, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers astroscience and geotechnics as well.
- Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Pune in India pursues a similar profile in chemistry, ecology and sustainability and physics, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers geotechnics and life sciences 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.

*: 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 …).
