Most Similar Schools Locally

Pedagogical University of Cracow works in much the same fields, chiefly astroscience, bioinformatics and geotechnics, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and is larger, enrolling about 15,000 students against roughly 9,000 here.
Think of University of Technology and Life Sciences in Bydgoszcz when food science, bioinformatics and geotechnics is the priority: it covers agriculture and transportations as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 7,000 students against roughly 9,000 here.
Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of food science, bioinformatics and geotechnics can consider University of Rzeszów, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers aerospace and transportations as well.
Where this institution leans on astroscience, bioinformatics and geotechnics, Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce does the same, and it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
Also strong in astroscience, bioinformatics and nanotechnologies, University of Białystok makes a sensible second look at home; it has almost the same size, at about 9,000 students, and is also a public institution.

*: 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:
