- Among national alternatives, École des Ponts ParisTech stands out for its focus on transportations, geotechnics and fluid dynamics, and it also offers mba programmes and covers logistics and aerospace as well.
- INSA Centre Val de Loire follows much the same lines as this institution, with transportations, fluid dynamics and industrial design as common ground, and it runs the same master's and doctoral programmes and covers aerospace and quality as well.
- INSA Rennes shares the core fields of this school, namely fluid dynamics, civil engineering and structural engineering; it has almost the same size, at about 2,000 students, and is also a public institution.
- Where this institution leans on transportations, fluid dynamics and industrial design, INSA Hauts-de-France does the same, and it teaches at the same levels, namely master's and doctoral, and covers logistics and quality as well.
- The comparison with INSA Toulouse is straightforward on subjects, since both focus on geotechnics, fluid dynamics and industrial design, and it is larger, enrolling about 3,500 students against roughly 1,900 here, and is also a public institution.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Abroad, HafenCity Universität Hamburg (Germany) covers transportations, geotechnics and fluid dynamics in a comparable way, and it also offers bachelor's programmes and covers logistics and quality as well.
- If this institution is on your list for transportations, geotechnics and fluid dynamics, Hochschule für Technik Stuttgart in Germany deserves a comparison, because it covers astroscience and logistics as well, and is larger, enrolling about 4,000 students against roughly 1,900 here.
- Cracow University of Technology in Poland is the nearest foreign match on transportations, geotechnics and fluid dynamics; it is far larger, with about 14,000 students against roughly 1,900 here, and is also a public institution.
- Higher School of Technology in Katowice in Poland shares the transportations, geotechnics and fluid dynamics orientation of this institution, and it covers sound engineering and quality as well, and has almost the same size, at about 2,000 students.
- FHNW Hochschule für Architektur, Bau und Geomatik offers an international parallel to this institution, with geotechnics, fluid dynamics and industrial design as common ground; it covers metrology and quality as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 1,500 students against roughly 1,900 here.

*: 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 …).
