Best For
Students wishing to start an American undergraduate degree in fields like Computer Science, Biology, or Environmental Science in Madrid.
Both schools build their programmes around microbiology and genetics, chemistry and physics, and Saint Louis University Madrid Campus is the one to compare first within the country, since it covers aerospace and bioinformatics as well, and is larger, enrolling about 900 students against roughly 400 here.
Think of The Global American University, Schiller when data analytics, software engineering and engineering is the priority: it is also a private institution and also offers master's programmes.
On content, DigiPen Institute of Technology Europe-Bilbao and this university are close, as both teach physics, mathematics and software engineering; it covers industrial design and computer vision as well, and has almost the same size, at about 400 students.
Autonomous University of Barcelona overlaps with this university on microbiology and genetics, chemistry and ecology and sustainability, so the two are easy to compare, and it also offers master's and doctoral programmes and covers computer vision and life sciences as well.
Also strong in data analytics, software engineering and engineering, Escuela Superior de Ciencia, Tecnología e Ingeniería makes a sensible second look at home; it is slightly larger, at about 500 students against roughly 400 here, and is also a private institution.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
The closest overseas parallel on chemistry, ecology and sustainability and physics is Amsterdam University College, located in the Netherlands; it is larger, enrolling about 900 students against roughly 400 here, and runs the same bachelor's programmes.
Harvey Mudd College, in the United States, takes a similar route through physics, mathematics and software engineering; it is also a private institution and runs the same bachelor's programmes.
University College Roosevelt (the Netherlands) works on the same fields as this institution, chiefly chemistry, ecology and sustainability and physics; it is public, whereas this institution is private, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's.
A foreign alternative with a similar emphasis on software engineering and engineering is Olin College of Engineering in the United States, and it has almost the same size, at about 400 students, and is also a private institution.
On content, John Cabot University in Italy and this university are close, as both teach mathematics, data analytics and software engineering; it runs the same bachelor's programmes and covers statistics and AI and machine learning as well.
*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:
