Most Similar Schools Locally
- Both schools build their programmes around aerospace, industrial design and civil engineering, and Universidad Alfonso X el Sabio - Escuela Politécnica Superior is the one to compare first within the country, since it covers mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 3,500 students against roughly 4,000 here.
- Also strong in industrial design, civil engineering and bioengineering, Universidad CEU San Pablo - Escuela Politécnica Superior makes a sensible second look at home; it is smaller, enrolling about 1,800 students against roughly 4,000 here, and is also a private institution.
- Universidad de Deusto - Facultad de Ingeniería shares the core fields of this institution, namely industrial design, bioengineering and robotics; it is also a private institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- A good alternative in the same country is Mondragon Unibertsitatea - Goi Eskola Politeknikoa / Escuela Politécnica Superior, which likewise covers bioengineering, computer vision and robotics; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers automation and mechanical engineering as well.
- Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of industrial design, civil engineering and computer vision can consider Universidad San Jorge - Escuela de Arquitectura y Tecnología, and it does not run the doctoral programmes found here, and is far smaller, with about 900 students against roughly 4,000 here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Looking internationally, Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden is where industrial design, civil engineering and bioengineering get a comparable treatment; it is larger, enrolling about 11,000 students against roughly 4,000 here, and is also a private institution.
- On content, Buenos Aires Institute of Technology in Argentina and this university are close, as both teach bioengineering, robotics and data analytics; it covers telecommunications as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 2,500 students against roughly 4,000 here.
- Università degli Studi di Enna "Kore" (Italy) works on the same fields as this institution, chiefly aerospace, industrial design and civil engineering; it covers structural engineering and process control as well, and is larger, enrolling about 7,000 students against roughly 4,000 here.
- A foreign alternative with a similar emphasis on industrial design, computer vision and robotics is Carnegie Mellon University in the United States, and it is also a private institution and also offers mba programmes.
- Shibaura Institute of Technology, based in Japan, is built around aerospace, industrial design and civil engineering much like this institution, and it is also a private institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.

*: 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 …).
