Most Similar Schools Locally
- Both schools build their programmes around ecology and sustainability, life sciences and data analytics, and University of New Brunswick is the one to compare first within the country, since it is smaller, enrolling about 10,000 students against roughly 16,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- In terms of fields, University of Victoria is the nearest neighbour, with ecology and sustainability, life sciences and data analytics again at the core; it is also a public institution and also offers mba programmes.
- Lakehead University shares the core fields of this institution, namely ecology and sustainability, life sciences and data analytics; it runs the same bachelor's, master's, doctoral, certificate and diploma programmes, and is smaller, enrolling about 8,000 students against roughly 16,000 here.
- Also strong in ecology and sustainability, life sciences and AI and machine learning, University of Saskatchewan makes a sensible second look at home; it covers agriculture and food science as well, and is larger, enrolling about 26,000 students against roughly 16,000 here.

- Beyond national borders, University of Hull stands out as a comparable school for ecology and sustainability, life sciences and AI and machine learning; it does not run the certificate and diploma programmes found here and covers marine science and chemistry as well.
*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.
- Climate Change, Environmental Impact, Research and Development, Software Engineering, Sustainable Practices
*: 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 …).
