Most Similar Schools Locally
- Hochschule Kempten University of Applied Sciences works in much the same fields, chiefly logistics, food science and transportations, and it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and mba.
- Both schools build their programmes around sound engineering, ergonomics and UX and transportations, and Hochschule Düsseldorf - University of Applied Sciences is the one to compare first within the country, since it is larger, enrolling about 10,000 students against roughly 4,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- On content, Hochschule Heilbronn and this institution are close, as both teach logistics, food science and transportations; it covers aerospace and geotechnics as well, and is larger, enrolling about 8,000 students against roughly 4,000 here.
- Hochschule Wismar takes a similar route through sound engineering, logistics and transportations, and it covers marine science and quality as well, and has almost the same size, at about 4,000 students.
- Among national alternatives, Hochschule Aschaffenburg University of Applied Sciences stands out for its focus on logistics, transportations and optics, and it is slightly smaller, at about 3,500 students against roughly 4,000 here, and is also a public institution.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Abroad, Kyoto Institute of Technology (Japan) covers ergonomics and UX, food science and optics in a comparable way, and it has almost the same size, at about 4,000 students, and is also a public institution.
- Looking internationally, University of Kitakyushu in Japan is where food science, transportations and optics get a comparable treatment; it has almost the same size, at about 4,000 students, and is also a public institution.
- Kazimierz Pułaski University of Technology and Humanities in Radom in Poland shares the logistics, transportations and optics orientation of this institution, and it also offers doctoral programmes and covers quality and civil engineering as well.
- On content, State University of Applied Sciences in Krosno in Poland and this institution are close, as both teach food science, transportations and optics; it does not run the mba programmes found here and covers aerospace and quality as well.

*: 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 …).
