Most Similar Schools Locally

  • Where this institution leans on sound engineering, optics and signal processing, Osaka Electro-Communication University does the same, and it is also a private institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
  • In terms of fields, Fukuoka Institute of Technology is the nearest neighbour, with transportations, optics and signal processing again at the core; it covers nanotechnologies and civil engineering as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 5,000 students against roughly 10,000 here.
  • On content, Tokyo City University and this institution are close, as both teach transportations, optics and signal processing; it covers geotechnics and nanotechnologies as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 7,000 students against roughly 10,000 here.
  • Aichi Institute of Technology sits close to this institution on transportations, optics and signal processing; it covers aerospace and civil engineering as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 6,000 students against roughly 10,000 here.
  • Setsunan University sits close to this institution on transportations, optics and signal processing; it covers geotechnics and civil engineering as well, and has almost the same size, at about 9,000 students.

Most Similar Schools Abroad

  • For a study option in Germany with a comparable spread of sound engineering, transportations and optics, Technische Universität Ilmenau is the reference point: it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers metrology and ergonomics and UX as well.
  • For transportations, optics and signal processing outside the home country, Westfälische Hochschule - University of Applied Sciences in Germany is a natural reference; it is slightly smaller, at about 8,000 students against roughly 10,000 here, and is public, whereas this institution is private.
  • The closest overseas parallel on transportations, optics and signal processing is ESIGELEC, located in France; it covers logistics and aerospace as well, and is far smaller, with about 2,000 students against roughly 10,000 here.
  • University of Zielona Góra, in Poland, takes a similar route through sound engineering, transportations and optics; it covers metrology and astroscience as well, and has almost the same size, at about 10,000 students.
  • For transportations, optics and signal processing outside the home country, Shanghai University of Electric Power in China is a natural reference; it is slightly larger, at about 13,000 students against roughly 10,000 here, and is public, whereas this university is private.

*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: 

  1. known locally
  2. known locally and internationally
  3. is listed in some of the world university’s classifications
  4. 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 …). Refer to all the links provided to have accurate and updated numbers.
