Most Similar Schools Locally

  • Also strong in logistics, transportations and quality, Kazimierz Pułaski University of Technology and Humanities in Radom makes a sensible second look at home; it has almost the same size, at about 5,000 students, and is also a public institution.
  • A good alternative in the same country is Czestochowa University of Technology, which likewise covers logistics, food science and transportations; it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
  • Where this university leans on transportations, quality and geotechnics, Koszalin University of Technology does the same, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
  • Think of Kielce University of Technology when transportations, quality and geotechnics is the priority: it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and is slightly smaller, at about 4,000 students against roughly 5,000 here.
  • Poznań University of Technology works in much the same fields, chiefly logistics, food science and transportations, and it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.

Most Similar Schools Abroad

  • Hochschule für Technik, Wirtschaft und Kultur Leipzig, based in Germany, is built around logistics, transportations and geotechnics much like this university, and it covers sound engineering and metrology as well, and is slightly larger, at about 7,000 students against roughly 5,000 here.
  • Technische Hochschule Wildau, in Germany, takes a similar route through logistics, transportations and quality; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers metrology and aerospace as well.
  • A foreign alternative with a similar emphasis on logistics, food science and transportations is Institut National Universitaire Champollion in France, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
  • Students considering a move abroad can look at Oita University in Japan, where food science, geotechnics and optics also form the core, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics as well.
  • Students considering a move abroad can look at Nagoya Institute of Technology in Japan, where transportations, optics and signal processing also form the core, and it covers nanotechnologies 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: 

  1. known locally
  2. known locally and internationally
  3. is listed in some of the world university’s classifications
  4. 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 …).
