Most Similar Schools Locally
- University of Szczecin takes a similar route through astroscience, bioinformatics and nanotechnologies, and it covers marine science as well, and is slightly larger, at about 12,000 students against roughly 9,000 here.
- Both schools build their programmes around astroscience, bioinformatics and nanotechnologies, and Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce is the one to compare first within the country, since it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers geotechnics as well.
- A good alternative in the same country is University of Łódź, which likewise covers astroscience, bioinformatics and nanotechnologies; it is larger, enrolling about 26,000 students against roughly 9,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Among national alternatives, University of Wrocław stands out for its focus on astroscience, bioinformatics and nanotechnologies, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and is larger, enrolling about 25,000 students against roughly 9,000 here.
- Think of University of Białystok when astroscience, bioinformatics and nanotechnologies is the priority: it has almost the same size, at about 9,000 students, and is also a public institution.

*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.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI), Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Engineering, Machine Learning
*: 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 …).
