Most Similar Schools Locally
- Gdynia Maritime University follows much the same lines as this university, with logistics, marine science and transportations as common ground, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and is slightly larger, at about 4,000 students against roughly 3,500 here.
- Naval Academy in Gdynia works in much the same fields, chiefly logistics, marine science and transportations, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- Think of Kazimierz Pułaski University of Technology and Humanities in Radom when logistics, transportations and optics is the priority: it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers quality and industrial design as well.
- A good alternative in the same country is Opole University of Technology, which likewise covers logistics, transportations and geotechnics; it covers food science and quality as well, and is slightly larger, at about 5,000 students against roughly 3,500 here.
- Where this university leans on logistics, transportations and fluid dynamics, State University of Applied Sciences in Nowy Sącz does the same, and it does not run the doctoral programmes found here and covers quality and industrial design as well.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- For logistics, marine science and transportations outside the home country, Hochschule Flensburg in Germany is a natural reference; it is slightly larger, at about 4,000 students against roughly 3,500 here, and is also a public institution.
- Shanghai Maritime University in China is the nearest foreign match on logistics, marine science and transportations; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers industrial design and civil engineering as well.
- Seen from abroad, Hochschule Emden/Leer (Germany) is a close relative on subject matter, since logistics, marine science and transportations are central to both, and it is also a public institution and does not run the doctoral programmes found here.
- If this institution is on your list for logistics, marine science and transportations, Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology in Japan deserves a comparison, because it is slightly smaller, at about 2,500 students against roughly 3,500 here, and is also a public institution.
- For logistics, marine science and transportations outside the home country, Dalian Maritime University in China is a natural reference; it is far larger, with about 23,000 students against roughly 3,500 here, 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:
- 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 …).
