Most Similar Schools Locally
- Both schools build their programmes around food science, geotechnics and nanotechnologies, and Ibaraki University is the one to compare first within the country, since it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers astroscience and aerospace as well.
- Iwate University overlaps with this university on food science, geotechnics and nanotechnologies, so the two are easy to compare, and it is slightly larger, at about 6,000 students against roughly 5,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Saitama University works in much the same fields, chiefly geotechnics, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics, and it covers transportations and bioinformatics as well, and is larger, enrolling about 8,000 students against roughly 5,000 here.
- In terms of fields, Fukuyama University is the nearest neighbour, with food science, geotechnics and microbiology and genetics again at the core; it is private, whereas this university is public, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- Among national alternatives, Tokyo Metropolitan University stands out for its focus on geotechnics, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics, and it covers astroscience and aerospace as well, and is larger, enrolling about 9,000 students against roughly 5,000 here.

*: 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 …).
