Most Similar Schools Locally
- Think of Université de Franche-Comté when bioinformatics, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics is the priority: it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers metrology and geotechnics as well.
- Université de Tours works in much the same fields, chiefly bioinformatics, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics, and it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- Also strong in bioinformatics, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics, Université PSL makes a sensible second look at home; it covers astroscience and geotechnics as well, and has almost the same size, at about 17,000 students.
- Université de Poitiers is the closest domestic counterpart for bioinformatics, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics; it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- Université de Bordeaux overlaps with this university on bioinformatics, nanotechnologies and microbiology and genetics, so the two are easy to compare, and it covers astroscience and marine science as well, and is far larger, with about 56,000 students against roughly 17,000 here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad

*: 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 …).
