Most Similar Schools Locally
- Both schools build their programmes around aerospace, agriculture and food science, and Hochschule für nachhaltige Entwicklung Eberswalde is the one to compare first within the country, since it is also a public institution and also offers doctoral programmes.
- Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of transportations, geotechnics and optics can consider Hochschule Nordhausen, and it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's and master's.
- For students who like the food science, transportations and geotechnics focus of this institution but want another option nearby, Hochschule Biberach fits well: it covers quality and bioinformatics as well, and is larger, enrolling about 2,500 students against roughly 1,000 here.
- A good alternative in the same country is Hochschule Magdeburg-Stendal, which likewise covers transportations, optics and fluid dynamics; it covers signal processing and automation as well, and is far larger, with about 5,000 students against roughly 1,000 here.
- On content, Hochschule Neubrandenburg and this institution are close, as both teach agriculture, food science and transportations; it runs the same bachelor's and master's programmes and covers logistics and bioinformatics as well.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Looking internationally, HES-SO Valais-Wallis – Haute Ecole d’Ingénierie in Switzerland is where geotechnics, optics and fluid dynamics get a comparable treatment; it is slightly smaller, at about 800 students against roughly 1,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Akita Prefectural University offers an international parallel to this institution, with aerospace, agriculture and food science as common ground; it also offers doctoral programmes and covers bioinformatics and nanotechnologies as well.
- State University of Applied Sciences in Krosno, in Poland, takes a similar route through aerospace, food science and transportations; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's and master's, and covers quality and signal processing as well.
- For agriculture, food science and geotechnics outside the home country, Beijing Forestry University in China is a natural reference; it also offers doctoral programmes and covers bioinformatics and microbiology and genetics as well.
- Haute école d'ingénierie et d'architecture Fribourg (Switzerland) works on the same fields as this school, chiefly geotechnics, optics and fluid dynamics; it covers metrology and quality as well, and has almost the same size, at about 1,000 students.

*: 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 …).
