Most Similar Schools Locally
- Another national school that puts transportations, quality and signal processing at the centre is INSA Centre Val de Loire, and it teaches at the same levels, namely master's and doctoral, and covers aerospace as well.
- A good alternative in the same country is INSA Rouen Normandie, which likewise covers logistics, transportations and quality; it is slightly smaller, at about 2,000 students against roughly 2,500 here, and is also a public institution.
- Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of logistics, transportations and quality can consider Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France, and it is far larger, with about 13,000 students against roughly 2,500 here, and is also a public institution.
- Both schools build their programmes around signal processing, fluid dynamics and civil engineering, and INSA Rennes is the one to compare first within the country, since it is slightly smaller, at about 2,000 students against roughly 2,500 here, and is also a public institution.
- INSA Strasbourg is the closest domestic counterpart for transportations, fluid dynamics and industrial design; it covers geotechnics as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 1,900 students against roughly 2,500 here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Abroad, Opole University of Technology (Poland) covers logistics, transportations and quality in a comparable way, and it is larger, enrolling about 5,000 students against roughly 2,500 here, and is also a public institution.
- A foreign alternative with a similar emphasis on logistics, transportations and quality is Kazimierz Pułaski University of Technology and Humanities in Radom in Poland, and it is also a public institution and also offers bachelor's programmes.
- Helmut-Schmidt-Universität/Universität der Bundeswehr Hamburg offers an international parallel to this institution, with logistics, transportations and signal processing as common ground; it covers military and aerospace as well, and has almost the same size, at about 2,500 students.
- Abroad, Technische Hochschule Wildau (Germany) covers logistics, transportations and quality in a comparable way, and it is slightly larger, at about 3,700 students against roughly 2,500 here, and is also a public institution.
- Abroad, Toyohashi University of Technology (Japan) covers signal processing, fluid dynamics and industrial design in a comparable way, and it covers bioinformatics and nanotechnologies as well, and has almost the same size, at about 2,500 students.
*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), Cybersecurity, Logistics, Robotics, Sustainable Materials
*: 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 …).
