Most Similar Schools Locally
- Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of food science, geotechnics and nanotechnologies can consider Oita University, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and is slightly smaller, at about 5,000 students against roughly 7,000 here.
- Saitama University overlaps with this institution on transportations, bioinformatics and geotechnics, so the two are easy to compare, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and is slightly larger, at about 8,000 students against roughly 7,000 here.
- Another national school that puts astroscience, agriculture and food science at the centre is Iwate University, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- On content, Yamaguchi University and this institution are close, as both teach astroscience, agriculture and food science; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and is slightly larger, at about 10,000 students against roughly 7,000 here.
- Tokyo Metropolitan University offers a comparable education in astroscience, aerospace and transportations: it is slightly larger, at about 9,000 students against roughly 7,000 here, and is also a public institution.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- The closest overseas parallel on agriculture, food science and transportations is University of Technology and Life Sciences in Bydgoszcz, located in Poland; it has almost the same size, at about 7,000 students, and is also a public institution.
- Hochschule Kaiserslautern - University of Applied Sciences brings a Germany setting to the same core fields, food science, transportations and bioinformatics, and it does not run the doctoral programmes found here and covers logistics and quality as well.
- Seen from abroad, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin (Poland) is a close relative on subject matter, since aerospace, agriculture and food science are central to both, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers marine science and quality as well.
- If this university is on your list for aerospace, agriculture and food science, Hochschule Osnabrück in Germany deserves a comparison, because it is larger, enrolling about 14,000 students against roughly 7,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Abroad, Fuzhou University (China) covers food science, bioinformatics and geotechnics in a comparable way, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.

*: 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 …).
