Most Similar Schools Locally
- A good alternative in the same country is Université de Rouen Normandie, which likewise covers fluid dynamics, civil engineering and structural engineering; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers food science and bioinformatics as well.
- Among national alternatives, Le Mans Université stands out for its focus on fluid dynamics, civil engineering and structural engineering, and it covers sound engineering and microbiology and genetics as well, and is larger, enrolling about 12,000 students against roughly 8,000 here.
- Another national school that puts logistics, transportations and fluid dynamics at the centre is Université Gustave Eiffel, and it covers aerospace and geotechnics as well, and is larger, enrolling about 17,000 students against roughly 8,000 here.
- The comparison with Université de Perpignan Via Domitia is straightforward on subjects, since both focus on marine science, fluid dynamics and structural engineering, and it covers microbiology and genetics and bioengineering as well, and is slightly larger, at about 9,000 students against roughly 8,000 here.
- Also strong in marine science, civil engineering and structural engineering, La Rochelle Université makes a sensible second look at home; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers food science and bioinformatics as well.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Seen from abroad, Shanghai Maritime University (China) is a close relative on subject matter, since logistics, marine science and transportations are central to both, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- In Poland, Gdynia Maritime University teaches much the same core subjects, logistics, marine science and transportations, and it is smaller, enrolling about 4,000 students against roughly 8,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Seen from abroad, Leuphana Universität Lüneburg (Germany) is a close relative on subject matter, since logistics, fluid dynamics and structural engineering are central to both, and it covers optics and signal processing as well, and is slightly larger, at about 9,000 students against roughly 8,000 here.
- For a study option in Italy with a comparable spread of logistics, marine science and fluid dynamics, Università degli Studi di Napoli "Parthenope" is the reference point: it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers industrial design and project management as well.
- Looking internationally, Maritime University of Szczecin in Poland is where logistics, marine science and transportations get a comparable treatment; it is smaller, enrolling about 3,500 students against roughly 8,000 here, and is also a public institution.

*: 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 …).
