University of applied sciences with diverse programs in engineering, IT, life sciences, and agriculture.
Hochschule Rhein-Waal - Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences offers a comparable education in aerospace, agriculture and food science: it is also a public institution and does not run the mba programmes found here.
Another national school that puts food science, transportations and optics at the centre is Hochschule Kempten University of Applied Sciences, and it is slightly smaller, at about 6,000 students against roughly 7,000 here, and is also a public institution.
Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of aerospace, food science and transportations can consider Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and mba programmes.
Hochschule Trier - Trier University of Applied Sciences shares the core fields of this school, namely aerospace, food science and transportations; it covers ergonomics and UX and logistics as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 6,000 students against roughly 7,000 here.
Both schools build their programmes around aerospace, transportations and bioinformatics, and Hochschule Bremen City University of Applied Sciences is the one to compare first within the country, since it covers logistics and marine science as well, and is slightly larger, at about 9,000 students against roughly 7,000 here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
In Japan, Mie University teaches much the same core subjects, aerospace, agriculture and food science, and it also offers doctoral programmes and covers astroscience and marine science as well.
Tokushima University in Japan shares the food science, bioinformatics and geotechnics orientation of this institution, and it is also a public institution and also offers doctoral programmes.
Abroad, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin (Poland) covers aerospace, agriculture and food science in a comparable way, and it also offers doctoral programmes and covers marine science and quality as well.
Seen from abroad, Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences (Poland) is a close relative on subject matter, since aerospace, agriculture and food science are central to both, and it also offers doctoral programmes and covers marine science and quality as well.
Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften brings a Switzerland setting to the same core fields, agriculture, food science and bioinformatics, and it is also a public institution and also offers diploma programmes.
*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.
Agriculture, Design for Manufacturing (DfM), Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Sustainable Development
*: 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 …).
