Most Similar Schools Locally
- Mines Paris - PSL takes a similar route through geotechnics, fluid dynamics and civil engineering, and it has almost the same size, at about 1,300 students, and is also a public institution.
- For students who like the fluid dynamics, civil engineering and structural engineering focus of this school but want another option nearby, Mines Saint-Étienne fits well: it runs the same master's and doctoral programmes and covers bioinformatics and nanotechnologies as well.
- Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of geotechnics, fluid dynamics and civil engineering can consider École Nationale des Travaux Publics de l'État, and it teaches at the same levels, namely master's and doctoral, and covers logistics and transportations as well.
- IMT Mines Albi takes a similar route through fluid dynamics, structural engineering and thermodynamics, and it is also a public institution and runs the same master's and doctoral programmes.
- For students who like the fluid dynamics, structural engineering and thermodynamics focus of this institution but want another option nearby, ENSAIT fits well: it is far smaller, with about 400 students against roughly 1,300 here, and is also a public institution.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- For geotechnics, fluid dynamics and civil engineering outside the home country, Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg in Germany is a natural reference; it is far larger, with about 4,000 students against roughly 1,300 here, and is also a public institution.
- If this institution is on your list for geotechnics, fluid dynamics and civil engineering, Kielce University of Technology in Poland deserves a comparison, because it covers transportations and quality as well, and is far larger, with about 4,000 students against roughly 1,300 here.
- Beyond national borders, Technische Universität Clausthal stands out as a comparable school for geotechnics, fluid dynamics and civil engineering; it is far larger, with about 4,000 students against roughly 1,300 here, and is also a public institution.
- The closest overseas parallel on geotechnics, fluid dynamics and civil engineering is The Main School of Fire Service, located in Poland; it is also a public institution and also offers bachelor's programmes.
- Beyond national borders, Kitami Institute of Technology stands out as a comparable school for geotechnics, fluid dynamics and civil engineering; it is also a public institution and also offers bachelor's 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 …).
