Most Similar Schools Locally
- Both schools build their programmes around ecology and sustainability, life sciences and AI and machine learning, and University of Regina is the one to compare first within the country, since it is also a public institution and also offers diploma programmes.
- Think of Lakehead University when ecology and sustainability, life sciences and AI and machine learning is the priority: it is smaller, enrolling about 8,000 students against roughly 16,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- The comparison with University of New Brunswick is straightforward on subjects, since both focus on ecology and sustainability, life sciences and AI and machine learning, and it also offers diploma programmes and covers data analytics as well.
- Think of Polytechnique Montréal when mechanical engineering, AI and machine learning and software engineering is the priority: it covers aerospace and electrical and electronics as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 9,500 students against roughly 16,000 here.
- Université Laurentienne works in much the same fields, chiefly ecology and sustainability, life sciences and AI and machine learning, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's, doctoral and certificate programmes, and covers geotechnics and data analytics 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 …).
