Most Similar Schools Locally
- Southern Federal University takes a similar route through nanotechnologies, materials and AI and machine learning, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers robotics and ecology and sustainability as well.
- Both schools build their programmes around electrical and electronics, materials and software engineering, and Saratov State Technical University is the one to compare first within the country, since it covers thermodynamics and automation as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 17,000 students against roughly 20,000 here.
- A good alternative in the same country is National University of Science and Technology, which likewise covers nanotechnologies, materials and AI and machine learning; it has almost the same size, at about 20,000 students, and is also a public institution.
- Both schools build their programmes around electrical and electronics, materials and software engineering, and Oryol State University is the one to compare first within the country, since it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- Yaroslav-the-Wise Novgorod State University works in much the same fields, chiefly nanotechnologies, electrical and electronics and life sciences, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers agriculture and mechanical engineering as well.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- In Finland, Aalto University teaches much the same core subjects, nanotechnologies, electrical and electronics and materials, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- If this university is on your list for electrical and electronics, materials and AI and machine learning, National Technical University of Ukraine Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute in Ukraine deserves a comparison, because it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers aerospace and telecommunications as well.

*: 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 …).
