Most Similar Schools Locally
- Among national alternatives, Fachhochschule Dortmund - University of Applied Sciences and Arts stands out for its focus on sound engineering, ergonomics and UX and aerospace, and it is larger, enrolling about 14,000 students against roughly 6,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- A good alternative in the same country is Hochschule Augsburg, which likewise covers sound engineering, ergonomics and UX and optics; it is also a public institution and does not run the doctoral programmes found here.
- In terms of fields, Hochschule Koblenz - University of Applied Sciences is the nearest neighbour, with optics, signal processing and fluid dynamics again at the core; it does not run the doctoral programmes found here and covers metrology and transportations as well.
- Where this institution leans on ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing, Hochschule Harz does the same, and it is smaller, enrolling about 3,000 students against roughly 6,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Think of Hochschule Düsseldorf - University of Applied Sciences when sound engineering, ergonomics and UX and optics is the priority: it covers transportations and quality as well, and is larger, enrolling about 10,000 students against roughly 6,000 here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- The closest overseas parallel on sound engineering, ergonomics and UX and bioinformatics is Tokyo University of Technology, located in Japan; it is slightly larger, at about 7,000 students against roughly 6,000 here, and is private, whereas this school is public.
- Sojo University in Japan is the nearest foreign match on ergonomics and UX, bioinformatics and optics; it covers nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 4,000 students against roughly 6,000 here.
- For a study option in Switzerland with a comparable spread of aerospace, bioinformatics and signal processing, EPFL is the reference point: it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- X - École Polytechnique in France shares the aerospace, bioinformatics and optics orientation of this institution, and it is also a public institution and does not run the bachelor's programmes found here.
- The closest overseas parallel on aerospace, bioinformatics and optics is Institut Polytechnique de Paris, located in France; it is slightly larger, at about 8,000 students against roughly 6,000 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 …).
