Most Similar Schools Locally
- Where this institution leans on ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing, École Nationale Supérieure des Sciences Appliquées et de Technologie Lannion does the same, and it runs the same master's and doctoral programmes and covers process control as well.
- For students who like the ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing focus of this school but want another option nearby, Télécom Physique Strasbourg fits well: it is also a public institution and runs the same master's and doctoral programmes.
- Think of Télécom Paris when ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing is the priority: it is also a public institution and also offers graduate certificate programmes.
- Télécom SudParis works in much the same fields, chiefly ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing, and it teaches at the same levels, namely master's and doctoral, and covers quality as well.
- Also strong in optics, signal processing and project management, Institut d'Optique Graduate School makes a sensible second look at home; it has almost the same size, at about 500 students, and is also a public institution.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- For ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing outside the home country, University of Aizu in Japan is a natural reference; it is also a public institution and also offers bachelor's programmes.
- Advanced Institute of Industrial Technology offers an international parallel to this school, with ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing as common ground; it is slightly smaller, at about 400 students against roughly 500 here, and is also a public institution.
- Beyond national borders, Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology stands out as a comparable school for physics, AI and machine learning and engineering; it teaches at the same levels, namely master's and doctoral, and is larger, enrolling about 900 students against roughly 500 here.
- Seen from abroad, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (China) is a close relative on subject matter, since ergonomics and UX, optics and signal processing are central to both, and it is far larger, with about 27,000 students against roughly 500 here, and is also a public institution.
- Indian Institute of Information Technology Pune in India is the nearest foreign match on computer vision, telecommunications and robotics; it is also a public institution and also offers bachelor's programmes.
*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 …).
