Most Similar Schools Locally
- Another national school that puts aerospace, food science and nanotechnologies at the centre is SIGMA Clermont, and it is also a public institution and runs the same master's and doctoral programmes.
- Mines Paris - PSL overlaps with this institution on aerospace, nanotechnologies and fluid dynamics, so the two are easy to compare, and it covers geotechnics and civil engineering as well, and is slightly larger, at about 1,300 students against roughly 1,000 here.
- Mines Saint-Étienne is the closest domestic counterpart for nanotechnologies, optics and signal processing; it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely master's and doctoral.
- ENSIL-ENSCI offers a comparable education in nanotechnologies, optics and signal processing: it teaches at the same levels, namely master's and doctoral, and covers microbiology and genetics as well.
- École Centrale Méditerranée takes a similar route through aerospace, nanotechnologies and optics, and it runs the same master's and doctoral programmes and covers marine science and microbiology and genetics as well.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Helmut-Schmidt-Universität/Universität der Bundeswehr Hamburg, based in Germany, is built around logistics, aerospace and optics much like this school, and it also offers bachelor's programmes and covers military and transportations as well.
- Students considering a move abroad can look at Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in Japan, where nanotechnologies, optics and signal processing also form the core, and it covers ergonomics and UX and bioinformatics as well, and has almost the same size, at about 1,000 students.
- Abroad, Hochschule Mannheim (Germany) covers aerospace, food science and nanotechnologies in a comparable way, and it also offers bachelor's programmes and covers bioinformatics and microbiology and genetics as well.
- Nara Institute of Science and Technology in Japan shares the nanotechnologies, optics and signal processing orientation of this institution, and it teaches at the same levels, namely master's and doctoral, and covers bioinformatics and microbiology and genetics as well.
- Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas brings a Spain setting to the same core fields, aerospace, food science and nanotechnologies, and it is larger, enrolling about 2,000 students against roughly 1,000 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.
- Materials, Process, Product Development, Quality Management, Renewable Energy, Supply Chain
*: 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 …).
