Most Similar Schools Locally
- Shanghai Institute of Technology overlaps with this institution on logistics, food science and transportations, so the two are easy to compare, and it is also a public institution and also offers master's programmes.
- On content, Changchun Institute of Technology and this university are close, as both teach transportations, quality and optics; it does not run the diploma programmes found here and covers geotechnics as well.
- Shanghai University works in much the same fields, chiefly transportations, optics and signal processing, and it also offers master's and doctoral programmes and covers bioinformatics and nanotechnologies as well.
- The comparison with Shenyang University of Technology is straightforward on subjects, since both focus on transportations, quality and optics, and it also offers master's and doctoral programmes, and is larger, enrolling about 23,000 students against roughly 12,000 here.
- Another national school that puts food science, transportations and optics at the centre is University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, and it also offers master's and doctoral programmes and covers nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics as well.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- If this university is on your list for food science, quality and optics, Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften in Switzerland deserves a comparison, because it also offers master's programmes and covers ergonomics and metrology as well.
- Hochschule Niederrhein - University of Applied Sciences in Germany shares the logistics, food science and transportations orientation of this institution, and it is slightly larger, at about 14,000 students against roughly 12,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Hochschule Düsseldorf - University of Applied Sciences brings a Germany setting to the same core fields, transportations, quality and optics, and it is also a public institution and also offers master's programmes.
- Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France in France is the nearest foreign match on logistics, transportations and quality; it also offers master's and doctoral programmes and covers sound engineering and aerospace as well.
- State University of Applied Sciences in Krosno, based in Poland, is built around food science, transportations and quality much like this university, and it covers aerospace and geotechnics as well, and is far smaller, with about 2,900 students against roughly 12,000 here.

*: 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 …).
