Most Similar Schools Abroad
- For food science, transportations and bioinformatics outside the home country, University of Technology and Life Sciences in Bydgoszcz in Poland is a natural reference; it covers agriculture and quality as well, and has almost the same size, at about 7,000 students.
- For a study option in France with a comparable spread of food science, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics, Université Bretagne Sud is the reference point: it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- A foreign alternative with a similar emphasis on food science, bioinformatics and nanotechnologies is Hochschule Mannheim in Germany, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- In Poland, Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz teaches much the same core subjects, food science, bioinformatics and geotechnics, and it covers astroscience and project management as well, and is slightly larger, at about 9,000 students against roughly 7,000 here.
- Seen from abroad, Technische Hochschule Lübeck (Germany) is a close relative on subject matter, since bioinformatics, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics are central to both, and it is slightly smaller, at about 5,000 students against roughly 7,000 here, 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 …).
