Most Similar Schools Locally

  • Kookmin University works in much the same fields, chiefly project management, computer vision and engineering, and it has almost the same size, at about 13,000 students, and is also a private institution.
  • For students who like the project management, computer vision and engineering focus of this university but want another option nearby, Chung-Ang University fits well: it is larger, enrolling about 21,000 students against roughly 14,000 here, and is also a private institution.
  • The comparison with Incheon National University is straightforward on subjects, since both focus on project management, computer vision and engineering, and it is public, whereas this university is private, and also offers doctoral programmes.
  • Myongji University offers a comparable education in project management and engineering: it has almost the same size, at about 15,000 students, and is also a private institution.
  • Both schools build their programmes around project management and engineering, and Kyonggi University is the one to compare first within the country, since it is also a private institution and runs the same bachelor's and master's programmes.

Most Similar Schools Abroad

  • Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, based in Brazil, is built around project management, computer vision and engineering much like this university, and it also offers doctoral programmes, and is slightly smaller, at about 12,000 students against roughly 14,000 here.
  • For project management, computer vision and engineering outside the home country, Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas in Brazil is a natural reference; it also offers doctoral programmes, and is smaller, enrolling about 9,000 students against roughly 14,000 here.
  • European University in Ukraine is the nearest foreign match on project management; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's and master's, and covers telecommunications and robotics as well.
  • Students considering a move abroad can look at Takushoku University in Japan, where project management, computer vision and engineering also form the core, and it covers ergonomics and UX and transportations as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 10,000 students against roughly 14,000 here.
  • Mercatorum Università Telematica offers an international parallel to this institution, with project management and engineering as common ground; it is slightly smaller, at about 10,000 students against roughly 14,000 here, and is also a private institution.

*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 …).
