Most Similar Schools Locally
- Think of Mines Saint-Étienne when nanotechnologies, microbiology and genetics and optics is the priority: it is also a public institution and runs the same master's and doctoral programmes.
- École Centrale de Lille takes a similar route through aerospace, transportations and nanotechnologies, and it is also a public institution and runs the same master's and doctoral programmes.
- Where this institution leans on logistics, transportations and quality, INSA Hauts-de-France does the same, and it is slightly larger, at about 2,500 students against roughly 2,200 here, and is also a public institution.
- Another national school that puts quality, geotechnics and nanotechnologies at the centre is Cergy/Pau, and it runs the same master's and doctoral programmes and covers bioinformatics as well.
- IMT Atlantique sits close to this school on logistics, aerospace and transportations; it has almost the same size, at about 2,300 students, and is also a public institution.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Technische Universität Clausthal brings a Germany setting to the same core fields, transportations, quality and geotechnics, and it also offers bachelor's programmes, and is larger, enrolling about 4,000 students against roughly 2,200 here.
- Shiga Prefectural University, in Japan, takes a similar route through food science, transportations and geotechnics; it is slightly larger, at about 2,500 students against roughly 2,200 here, and is also a public institution.
- For logistics, food science and transportations outside the home country, Czestochowa University of Technology in Poland is a natural reference; it also offers bachelor's programmes, and is far larger, with about 8,000 students against roughly 2,200 here.
- Seen from abroad, Technische Hochschule Wildau (Germany) is a close relative on subject matter, since logistics, aerospace and transportations are central to both, and it is also a public institution and also offers bachelor's programmes.
- Białystok University of Technology in Poland pursues a similar profile in logistics, food science and transportations, and it also offers bachelor's programmes, and is far larger, with about 8,000 students against roughly 2,200 here.
*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.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI), Circular Economy, Cybersecurity, Digital Twin, Renewable Energy, Robotics, Sustainable Development, User-Centered Design
*: 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 …).
