Most Similar Schools Locally
- On content, Libera Università Mediterranea and this institution are close, as both teach logistics, quality and project management; it also offers mba programmes, and is slightly smaller, at about 2,000 students against roughly 2,500 here.
- Campus Bio-Medico di Roma is the closest domestic counterpart for process control, statistics and automation; it is also a private institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- Also strong in logistics, project management and process control, Mercatorum Università Telematica makes a sensible second look at home; it is also a private institution and does not run the doctoral programmes found here.
- Where this institution leans on process control, automation and manufacturing, Università degli Studi Guglielmo Marconi does the same, and it covers civil engineering and structural engineering as well, and is far larger, with about 16,000 students against roughly 2,500 here.
- Università Telematica Internazionale Uninettuno shares the core fields of this institution, namely project management, process control and automation; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers industrial design and civil engineering as well.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- If this institution is on your list for logistics, quality and project management, Hochschule Neu-Ulm University of Applied Sciences in Germany deserves a comparison, because it also offers mba programmes and covers ergonomics and UX and transportations as well.
- Seen from abroad, Silesian College of Computer Science in Katowice (Poland) is a close relative on subject matter, since logistics, quality and project management are central to both, and it is also a private institution and does not run the doctoral programmes found here.
- State University of Applied Sciences in Legnica offers an international parallel to this institution, with logistics, quality and project management as common ground; it is public, whereas this institution is private, and does not run the doctoral programmes found here.
- Jönköping University offers an international parallel to this institution, with logistics, project management and manufacturing as common ground; it covers industrial design and structural engineering as well, and is far larger, with about 12,000 students against roughly 2,500 here.
- In Germany, Helmut-Schmidt-Universität/Universität der Bundeswehr Hamburg teaches much the same core subjects, logistics, project management and process control, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers military and aerospace as well.

*: 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 …).
