Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Looking internationally, Kostroma State University in Russia is where manufacturing, mechanical engineering and software engineering get a comparable treatment; it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- Seen from abroad, Qingdao University (China) is a close relative on subject matter, since chemistry, mechanical engineering and software engineering are central to both, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers marine science and materials as well.
- Students considering a move abroad can look at Kurgan State University in Russia, where manufacturing, mechanical engineering and software engineering also form the core, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- Escola de Enxeñaría Industrial, based in Spain, is built around chemistry, manufacturing and mechanical engineering much like this institution, and it covers bioengineering and robotics as well, and has almost the same size, at about 4,000 students.
- Beyond national borders, Khmelnytskyi National University stands out as a comparable school for manufacturing, mechanical engineering and software engineering; it is larger, enrolling about 8,000 students against roughly 4,500 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 …).
