Most Similar Schools Locally
- Think of Murmansk Arctic State University when marine science, geotechnics and ecology and sustainability is the priority: it covers logistics and life sciences as well, and is slightly larger, at about 5,000 students against roughly 4,000 here.
- Russian State Geological Prospecting University works in much the same fields, chiefly marine science, geotechnics and ecology and sustainability, and it is slightly larger, at about 5,000 students against roughly 4,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Among national alternatives, Moscow State University of Geodesy and Cartography stands out for its focus on astroscience, geotechnics and mathematics, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- For students who like the marine science, geotechnics and ecology and sustainability focus of this university but want another option nearby, Sakhalin State University fits well: it is slightly larger, at about 5,000 students against roughly 4,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Where this institution leans on geotechnics, ecology and sustainability and physics, Perm State University does the same, and it covers chemistry and life sciences as well, and is far larger, with about 12,000 students against roughly 4,000 here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- University of Tromsø – The Arctic University of Norway, based in Norway, is built around astroscience, marine science and geotechnics much like this university, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers telecommunications and life sciences as well.
- Seen from abroad, University of St Andrews (the United Kingdom) is a close relative on subject matter, since astroscience, marine science and physics are central to both, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers chemistry and life sciences as well.
- On content, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology in China and this institution are close, as both teach astroscience, marine science and geotechnics; it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- Abroad, University of Bergen (Norway) covers marine science, geotechnics and ecology and sustainability in a comparable way, and it covers life sciences as well, and is far larger, with about 18,500 students against roughly 4,000 here.
- Stockholm University, in Sweden, takes a similar route through astroscience, marine science and ecology and sustainability; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers chemistry and statistics 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 …).
