Most Similar Schools Locally

  • Among national alternatives, Kyushu Sangyo University stands out for its focus on transportations, geotechnics and optics, and it covers nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics as well, and is slightly larger, at about 13,000 students against roughly 11,000 here.
  • Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of optics, fluid dynamics and industrial design can consider Osaka Institute of Technology, and it is also a private institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
  • Among national alternatives, Tohoku Gakuin University stands out for its focus on transportations, geotechnics and optics, and it is also a private institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
  • On content, Kansai University and this institution are close, as both teach transportations, optics and signal processing; it covers nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics as well, and is larger, enrolling about 30,000 students against roughly 11,000 here.
  • Think of Hosei University when transportations, geotechnics and optics is the priority: it is larger, enrolling about 28,000 students against roughly 11,000 here, and is also a private institution.

Most Similar Schools Abroad

  • Fachhochschule Südwestfalen in Germany pursues a similar profile in transportations, quality and geotechnics, and it is public, whereas this institution is private, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
  • Hochschule Düsseldorf - University of Applied Sciences, based in Germany, is built around ergonomics and UX, transportations and quality much like this university, and it does not run the doctoral programmes found here and covers sound engineering as well.
  • Lublin University of Technology in Poland shares the transportations, quality and geotechnics orientation of this university, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and is slightly smaller, at about 8,000 students against roughly 11,000 here.
  • Wrocław University of Science and Technology in Poland shares the transportations, quality and geotechnics orientation of this university, and it is public, whereas this university is private, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
  • Southeast University (China) works on the same fields as this university, chiefly transportations, geotechnics and optics; it is far larger, with about 36,000 students against roughly 11,000 here, and is public, whereas this university is private.

*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 …).
