Most Similar Schools Locally
- Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of sound engineering, logistics and aerospace can consider ISAT, and it covers ergonomics and UX and chemistry as well, and has almost the same size, at about 700 students.
- SIGMA Clermont offers a comparable education in aerospace, quality and optics: it is larger, enrolling about 1,100 students against roughly 700 here, and is also a public institution.
- A good alternative in the same country is École Nationale Supérieure de Techniques Avancées, which likewise covers aerospace, transportations and optics; it is also a public institution and runs the same master's and doctoral programmes.
- The comparison with IMT Mines Albi is straightforward on subjects, since both focus on logistics, aerospace and optics, and it covers food science and nanotechnologies as well, and is slightly larger, at about 1,000 students against roughly 700 here.
- ENSTA Bretagne overlaps with this institution on sound engineering, logistics and aerospace, so the two are easy to compare, and it covers marine science and chemistry as well, and is slightly larger, at about 1,000 students against roughly 700 here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- For logistics, transportations and quality outside the home country, Advanced Institute of Industrial Technology in Japan is a natural reference; it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely master's and doctoral.
- For a study option in Japan with a comparable spread of sound engineering, optics and signal processing, Future University Hakodate is the reference point: it covers ergonomics and UX and marine science as well, and is slightly larger, at about 1,000 students against roughly 700 here.
- Helmut-Schmidt-Universität/Universität der Bundeswehr Hamburg brings a Germany setting to the same core fields, logistics, aerospace and transportations, and it covers military and civil engineering as well, and is far larger, with about 2,500 students against roughly 700 here.
- Beyond national borders, Poznań University of Technology stands out as a comparable school for sound engineering, logistics and aerospace; it covers metrology and food science as well, and is far larger, with about 16,000 students against roughly 700 here.
- In Poland, State University of Applied Sciences in Legnica teaches much the same core subjects, logistics, transportations and quality, and it also offers bachelor's programmes, and is far larger, with about 2,500 students against roughly 700 here.
*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:
- 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 …).
