Most Similar Schools Locally
- Hachinohe Institute of Technology takes a similar route through microbiology and genetics, optics and signal processing, and it is also a private institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- Maebashi Institute of Technology overlaps with this institution on bioinformatics, microbiology and genetics and optics, so the two are easy to compare, and it covers industrial design as well, and is slightly larger, at about 2,000 students against roughly 1,500 here.
- Among national alternatives, Ashikaga University stands out for its focus on microbiology and genetics, optics and signal processing, and it is also a private institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- Ishinomaki Senshu University sits close to this institution on microbiology and genetics, optics and signal processing; it does not run the doctoral programmes found here and covers marine science and food science as well.
- Tohoku Bunka Gakuen University works in much the same fields, chiefly microbiology and genetics, optics and signal processing, and it is slightly larger, at about 2,000 students against roughly 1,500 here, and is also a private institution.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Seen from abroad, Constructor University (Germany) is a close relative on subject matter, since bioinformatics, microbiology and genetics and optics are central to both, and it is also a private institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- Students considering a move abroad can look at École Supérieure de Chimie Physique Électronique de Lyon in France, where bioinformatics, microbiology and genetics and optics also form the core, and it covers nanotechnologies as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 1,300 students against roughly 1,500 here.
- Hochschule Mannheim in Germany shares the bioinformatics, microbiology and genetics and optics orientation of this institution, and it is far larger, with about 5,000 students against roughly 1,500 here, and is public, whereas this institution is private.
- For bioinformatics, optics and signal processing outside the home country, École Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay in France is a natural reference; it covers aerospace and nanotechnologies as well, and is slightly larger, at about 2,000 students against roughly 1,500 here.
- Universidad de Vic - Universidad Central de Cataluña - Facultad de Ciencias y Tecnología in Spain is the nearest foreign match on bioinformatics, microbiology and genetics and bioengineering; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers food science 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 …).
