Most Similar Schools Locally
- Both schools build their programmes around agriculture, food science and bioinformatics, and Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria is the one to compare first within the country, since it covers bioengineering as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 100 students against roughly 150 here.
- Real Jardín Botánico sits close to this school on agriculture, bioinformatics and microbiology and genetics; it is smaller, enrolling about 50 students against roughly 150 here, and is also a public institution.
- Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales works in much the same fields, chiefly marine science, microbiology and genetics and ecology and sustainability, and it runs the same master's, doctoral and diploma programmes, and covers geotechnics as well.
- Also strong in bioinformatics, microbiology and genetics and statistics, Instituto de Salud Carlos III makes a sensible second look at home; it runs the same master's, doctoral and diploma programmes, and covers bioengineering as well.
- Facultade de Ciencias do Mar works in much the same fields, chiefly marine science, chemistry and ecology and sustainability, and it is far larger, with about 600 students against roughly 150 here, and is also a public institution.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Looking internationally, Agroscope in Switzerland is where agriculture, food science and bioinformatics get a comparable treatment; it covers quality and signal processing as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 100 students against roughly 150 here.
- Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands pursues a similar profile in marine science, agriculture and food science, and it is also a public institution and also offers bachelor's programmes.
- In the Netherlands, IHE Delft Institute for Water Education teaches much the same core subjects, marine science and ecology and sustainability, and it covers quality and geotechnics as well, and is slightly larger, at about 200 students against roughly 150 here.
- Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle brings a France setting to the same core fields, marine science, agriculture and food science, and it is also a public institution and does not run the diploma programmes found here.
- The closest overseas parallel on marine science, bioinformatics and chemistry is University of Gothenburg, located in Sweden; it also offers bachelor's programmes and covers computer vision and physics as well.

*: 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 …).
