Best For
Students seeking engineering or architecture degrees that integrate technical knowledge with humanistic and ethical principles, at a private Catholic university.
A good alternative in the same country is La Salle Campus Barcelona - Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería La Salle, which likewise covers bioengineering, computer vision and telecommunications; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers electrical and electronics as well.
Universidad Católica de Murcia - Escuela Politécnica Superior overlaps with this institution on civil engineering, computer vision and telecommunications, so the two are easy to compare, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and has almost the same size, at about 2,000 students.
Universidad Europea de Madrid - Escuela de Arquitectura, Ingeniería y Diseño shares the core fields of this institution, namely industrial design, civil engineering and bioengineering; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers aerospace and manufacturing as well.
Another national school that puts industrial design, civil engineering and bioengineering at the centre is Universidad Alfonso X el Sabio - Escuela Politécnica Superior, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers aerospace and manufacturing as well.
In terms of fields, Universidad de Deusto - Facultad de Ingeniería is the nearest neighbour, with industrial design, bioengineering and robotics again at the core; it has almost the same size, at about 2,000 students, and is also a private institution.

Looking internationally, Austral University in Argentina is where industrial design, bioengineering and data analytics get a comparable treatment; it also offers mba programmes and covers project management and life sciences 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:
