Most Similar Schools Locally
- Nippon Institute of Technology offers a comparable education in aerospace, transportations and quality: it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers geotechnics as well.
- A good alternative in the same country is Tohoku Institute of Technology, which likewise covers transportations, quality and nanotechnologies; it is smaller, enrolling about 4,000 students against roughly 7,000 here, and is also a private institution.
- Another national school that puts transportations, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics at the centre is Tokyo City University, and it is also a private institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- Kanagawa Institute of Technology works in much the same fields, chiefly aerospace, transportations and quality, and it is slightly smaller, at about 5,000 students against roughly 7,000 here, and is also a private institution.
- Shibaura Institute of Technology takes a similar route through aerospace, transportations and nanotechnologies, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and is slightly larger, at about 9,000 students against roughly 7,000 here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Cracow University of Technology, in Poland, takes a similar route through aerospace, transportations and quality; it covers metrology and geotechnics as well, and is larger, enrolling about 14,000 students against roughly 7,000 here.
- On content, Technische Hochschule Ulm in Germany and this university are close, as both teach transportations, quality and nanotechnologies; it is smaller, enrolling about 4,000 students against roughly 7,000 here, and is public, whereas this university is private.
- For aerospace, transportations and optics outside the home country, Hochschule Karlsruhe – Technik und Wirtschaft in Germany is a natural reference; it is public, whereas this university is private, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- Czestochowa University of Technology brings a Poland setting to the same core fields, transportations, quality and nanotechnologies, and it is slightly larger, at about 8,000 students against roughly 7,000 here, and is public, whereas this institution is private.
- A foreign alternative with a similar emphasis on transportations, optics and signal processing is Inner Mongolia University of Technology in China, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and is far larger, with about 23,000 students against roughly 7,000 here.
*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.

*: 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 …).
