Most Similar Schools Locally
- Where this institution leans on sound engineering, ergonomics and UX and aerospace, Hochschule Darmstadt does the same, and it is also a public institution and does not run the mba programmes found here.
- Another national school that puts sound engineering, ergonomics and UX and aerospace at the centre is Ostfalia Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften, and it covers logistics and food science as well, and has almost the same size, at about 12,000 students.
- Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences shares the core fields of this institution, namely sound engineering, metrology and ergonomics and UX; it covers logistics and geotechnics as well, and is slightly larger, at about 18,000 students against roughly 13,000 here.
- Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin takes a similar route through sound engineering, ergonomics and UX and aerospace, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and mba programmes, and covers logistics and food science as well.
- For students who like the ergonomics and UX, transportations and optics focus of this institution but want another option nearby, Technische Hochschule Deggendorf fits well: it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and mba programmes.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France in France pursues a similar profile in sound engineering, aerospace and transportations, and it also offers doctoral programmes and covers logistics as well.
- Shanghai Institute of Technology, based in China, is built around transportations, quality and optics much like this institution, and it does not run the mba programmes found here and covers logistics and food science as well.
- Beyond national borders, Kobe University stands out as a comparable school for transportations, bioinformatics and optics; it is slightly larger, at about 16,000 students against roughly 13,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Students considering a move abroad can look at Tsinghua in China, where aerospace, transportations and bioinformatics also form the core, and it also offers doctoral programmes and covers nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics as well.
- Seen from abroad, Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften (Switzerland) is a close relative on subject matter, since metrology, quality and bioinformatics are central to both, and it also offers diploma programmes and covers ergonomics and agriculture 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:
- 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 …).
