Most Similar Schools Locally
- Think of INSA Centre Val de Loire when transportations, quality and fluid dynamics is the priority: it runs the same master's and doctoral programmes and covers aerospace and signal processing as well.
- INSA Hauts-de-France sits close to this school on logistics, transportations and quality; it teaches at the same levels, namely master's and doctoral, and covers signal processing and civil engineering as well.
- Université de Technologie de Troyes offers a comparable education in logistics, transportations and quality: it runs the same master's and doctoral programmes and covers nanotechnologies and optics as well.
- INSA Rennes works in much the same fields, chiefly fluid dynamics, structural engineering and thermodynamics, and it has almost the same size, at about 2,000 students, and is also a public institution.
- The comparison with ESIGELEC is straightforward on subjects, since both focus on logistics, transportations and quality, and it teaches at the same levels, namely master's and doctoral, and covers aerospace and optics as well.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Seen from abroad, State University of Applied Sciences in Legnica (Poland) is a close relative on subject matter, since logistics, transportations and quality are central to both, and it also offers bachelor's programmes, and is slightly larger, at about 2,500 students against roughly 2,000 here.
- Helmut-Schmidt-Universität/Universität der Bundeswehr Hamburg (Germany) works on the same fields as this institution, chiefly logistics, transportations and fluid dynamics; it covers military and aerospace as well, and is slightly larger, at about 2,500 students against roughly 2,000 here.
- Beyond national borders, Hochschule Neu-Ulm University of Applied Sciences stands out as a comparable school for logistics, transportations and quality; it covers ergonomics and UX and optics as well, and is larger, enrolling about 4,000 students against roughly 2,000 here.
- A foreign alternative with a similar emphasis on logistics, transportations and quality is The Main School of Fire Service in Poland, and it covers geotechnics and signal processing as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 1,500 students against roughly 2,000 here.
- If this school is on your list for quality, fluid dynamics and industrial design, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas in Spain deserves a comparison, because it is also a public institution and runs the same master's and doctoral programmes.
*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), Chemistry, Logistics, Risk Management, 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 …).
