Most Similar Schools Locally
- A good alternative in the same country is Aichi Prefectural University, which likewise covers ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and is larger, enrolling about 3,000 students against roughly 2,000 here.
- The comparison with University of Aizu is straightforward on subjects, since both focus on ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and is smaller, enrolling about 1,200 students against roughly 2,000 here.
- Another national school that puts sound engineering, ergonomics and UX and optics at the centre is Tokyo University of Information Sciences, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers industrial design and thermodynamics as well.
- On content, Future University Hakodate and this university are close, as both teach sound engineering, ergonomics and UX and optics; it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- Think of Iwate Prefectural University when sound engineering, ergonomics and UX and signal processing is the priority: it covers industrial design as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 1,200 students against roughly 2,000 here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- ISTIC in France shares the ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing orientation of this institution, and it is slightly smaller, at about 1,500 students against roughly 2,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Beyond national borders, Xi'an University of Posts and Telecommunications stands out as a comparable school for optics, signal processing and project management; it is far larger, with about 20,000 students against roughly 2,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- For ergonomics and UX, signal processing and project management outside the home country, Universität Koblenz in Germany is a natural reference; it covers bioinformatics and bioengineering as well, and is far larger, with about 9,000 students against roughly 2,000 here.
- If this institution is on your list for ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing, Télécom Paris in France deserves a comparison, because it also offers graduate certificate programmes and covers quality 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), Cybersecurity, Human-Computer Interaction, Information Technology (IT), Machine Learning, Robotics, User-Centered Design
*: 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 …).
