Most Similar Schools Locally
- Hochschule Flensburg sits close to this university on logistics, marine science and transportations; it covers food science as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 4,000 students against roughly 9,000 here.
- Hochschule Emden/Leer follows much the same lines as this institution, with logistics, marine science and transportations as common ground, and it does not run the mba programmes found here, and is smaller, enrolling about 4,500 students against roughly 9,000 here.
- For students who like the logistics, transportations and optics focus of this university but want another option nearby, Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften Würzburg-Schweinfurt fits well: it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and mba, and covers ergonomics and UX and geotechnics as well.
- Fachhochschule Kiel is the closest domestic counterpart for logistics, marine science and aerospace; it is also a public institution and does not run the mba programmes found here.
- Both schools build their programmes around logistics, aerospace and transportations, and Hochschule Heilbronn is the one to compare first within the country, since it has almost the same size, at about 8,000 students, and is also a public institution.

*: 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 …).
