Most Similar Schools Abroad
- For agriculture and engineering outside the home country, Kongju National University in South Korea is a natural reference; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and is slightly larger, at about 12,000 students against roughly 9,000 here.
- Gyeongsang National University brings a South Korea setting to the same core fields, agriculture and engineering, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers life sciences as well.
- Polissia National University offers an international parallel to this institution, with agriculture, ecology and sustainability and engineering as common ground; it covers geotechnics and bioengineering as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 5,500 students against roughly 9,000 here.
- If this university is on your list for agriculture, ecology and sustainability and engineering, Ukhta State Technical University in Russia deserves a comparison, because it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers chemical engineering and geotechnics as well.
- Seen from abroad, Lviv National Agrarian University (Ukraine) is a close relative on subject matter, since agriculture, ecology and sustainability and engineering are central to both, and it has almost the same size, at about 8,000 students, and is also a public institution.
*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 …).
