Most Similar Schools Locally
- A good alternative in the same country is Muroran Institute of Technology, which likewise covers transportations, nanotechnologies and optics; it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- Gunma University takes a similar route through transportations, nanotechnologies and optics, and it covers food science and bioinformatics as well, and is slightly larger, at about 6,000 students against roughly 5,000 here.
- Kyushu Institute of Technology overlaps with this institution on nanotechnologies, optics and signal processing, so the two are easy to compare, and it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- On content, Wakayama University and this school are close, as both teach optics, signal processing and fluid dynamics; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and has almost the same size, at about 5,000 students.
- In terms of fields, Aichi Institute of Technology is the nearest neighbour, with transportations, optics and signal processing again at the core; 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
- A foreign alternative with a similar emphasis on transportations, nanotechnologies and optics is University of Bielsko-Biała in Poland, and it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- If this school is on your list for transportations, nanotechnologies and optics, Hochschule Koblenz - University of Applied Sciences in Germany deserves a comparison, because it is also a public institution and does not run the doctoral programmes found here.
- If this school is on your list for transportations, optics and signal processing, Westsächsische Hochschule Zwickau in Germany deserves a comparison, because it is slightly smaller, at about 4,000 students against roughly 5,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- On content, Kazimierz Pułaski University of Technology and Humanities in Radom in Poland and this institution are close, as both teach transportations, optics and signal processing; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers logistics and quality as well.
- The closest overseas parallel on nanotechnologies, optics and signal processing is CentraleSupélec, located in France; it is slightly smaller, at about 4,300 students against roughly 5,000 here, and is also a public institution.
*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 …).
