Most Similar Schools Locally

  • University of Hyogo works in much the same fields, chiefly bioinformatics, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
  • Where this university leans on nanotechnologies, microbiology and genetics and optics, Muroran Institute of Technology does the same, and it is slightly larger, at about 3,000 students against roughly 2,500 here, and is also a public institution.
  • Think of Shiga Prefectural University when nanotechnologies, microbiology and genetics and optics is the priority: it has almost the same size, at about 2,500 students, and is also a public institution.
  • Maebashi Institute of Technology is the closest domestic counterpart for bioinformatics, microbiology and genetics and optics; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and is slightly smaller, at about 2,000 students against roughly 2,500 here.
  • Akita Prefectural University offers a comparable education in bioinformatics, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics: it covers aerospace and agriculture as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 1,500 students against roughly 2,500 here.

Most Similar Schools Abroad

  • For a study option in France with a comparable spread of bioinformatics, nanotechnologies and optics, École Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay is the reference point: it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers aerospace as well.
  • On content, Technische Hochschule Lübeck in Germany and this university are close, as both teach bioinformatics, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics; it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
  • For a study option in Poland with a comparable spread of nanotechnologies, microbiology and genetics and optics, Jan Długosz University in Częstochowa is the reference point: it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
  • Students considering a move abroad can look at Technische Hochschule Bingen in Germany, where bioinformatics, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics also form the core, and it does not run the doctoral programmes found here and covers food science and transportations as well.
  • For a study option in France with a comparable spread of bioinformatics, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics, Mines Saint-Étienne is the reference point: it is also a public institution and does not run the bachelor's programmes found 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: 

  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 …).
