Most Similar Schools Locally
- In terms of fields, Seoul National University of Science and Technology is the nearest neighbour, with automation, mechanical engineering and engineering again at the core; it does not run the doctoral programmes found here, and is far larger, with about 16,000 students against roughly 5,000 here.
- Hankuk Aviation University takes a similar route through automation, mechanical engineering and engineering, and it is private, whereas this school is public, and does not run the doctoral programmes found here.
- Also strong in automation and engineering, Korea Polytechnic University makes a sensible second look at home; it is larger, enrolling about 8,000 students against roughly 5,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Also strong in mechanical engineering and engineering, University of Ulsan makes a sensible second look at home; it is larger, enrolling about 14,000 students against roughly 5,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Pohang University of Science and Technology follows much the same lines as this institution, with mechanical engineering and engineering as common ground, and it is private, whereas this institution is public, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Federal University of Itajubá, in Brazil, takes a similar route through mechanical engineering and engineering; it covers electrical and electronics as well, and is larger, enrolling about 7,500 students against roughly 5,000 here.
- In Russia, Moscow State Technological University STANKIN teaches much the same core subjects, automation, mechanical engineering and engineering, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- Beyond national borders, Cherepovets State University stands out as a comparable school for automation, mechanical engineering and engineering; it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- For automation, mechanical engineering and engineering outside the home country, Kremenchuk Mykhailo Ostrohradskyi National University in Ukraine is a natural reference; it is slightly larger, at about 6,000 students against roughly 5,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Beyond national borders, Zhytomyr Polytechnic State University stands out as a comparable school for automation, mechanical engineering and engineering; it covers geotechnics and ecology and sustainability as well, and has almost the same size, at about 5,000 students.
*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 …).
