Most Similar Schools Locally
- Among national alternatives, Télécom SudParis stands out for its focus on ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing, and it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely master's and doctoral.
- A good alternative in the same country is ENSIIE, which likewise covers ergonomics and UX, signal processing and project management; it is slightly larger, at about 700 students against roughly 600 here, and is also a public institution.
- ISTIC follows much the same lines as this school, with ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing as common ground, and it also offers bachelor's programmes, and is larger, enrolling about 1,500 students against roughly 600 here.
- Also strong in ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing, École Nationale Supérieure des Sciences Appliquées et de Technologie Lannion makes a sensible second look at home; it is slightly smaller, at about 500 students against roughly 600 here, and is also a public institution.
- Both schools build their programmes around ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing, and École Nationale d'Ingénieurs de Brest is the one to compare first within the country, since it covers manufacturing and mechanical engineering as well, and is slightly larger, at about 800 students against roughly 600 here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- University of Aizu offers an international parallel to this school, with ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing as common ground; it is also a public institution and also offers bachelor's programmes.
- If this institution is on your list for ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing, Future University Hakodate in Japan deserves a comparison, because it is also a public institution and also offers bachelor's programmes.
- On content, National Laboratory for Scientific Computing in Brazil and this institution are close, as both teach mathematics, data analytics and software engineering; it is slightly smaller, at about 500 students against roughly 600 here, and is also a public institution.
- In South Korea, Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology teaches much the same core subjects, physics, AI and machine learning and engineering, and it is larger, enrolling about 900 students against roughly 600 here, and is also a public institution.
- For optics, signal processing and thermodynamics outside the home country, FernUniversität in Hagen in Germany is a natural reference; it also offers bachelor's programmes and covers fluid dynamics and structural engineering as well.
*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, Machine Learning, Simulation, Software, Software Development Kit (SDK), Software Testing, 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 …).
