Most Similar Schools Locally
- Both schools build their programmes around optics, signal processing and project management, and Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications is the one to compare first within the country, since it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- Another national school that puts optics, signal processing and computer vision at the centre is Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and is larger, enrolling about 30,000 students against roughly 20,000 here.
- Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications sits close to this institution on optics, signal processing and project management; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers ergonomics and UX as well.
- Where this university leans on optics, signal processing and project management, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China does the same, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers bioinformatics and nanotechnologies as well.
- Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of optics, signal processing and computer vision can consider Xidian University, and it is larger, enrolling about 35,000 students against roughly 20,000 here, and is also a public institution.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- ISTIC (France) works on the same fields as this university, chiefly optics, signal processing and project management; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers ergonomics and UX as well.
- For optics, signal processing and project management outside the home country, Aichi Prefectural University in Japan is a natural reference; it is far smaller, with about 3,000 students against roughly 20,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- A foreign alternative with a similar emphasis on optics, signal processing and project management is University of Electro-Communications in Japan, and it covers ergonomics and UX and bioinformatics as well, and is far smaller, with about 5,000 students against roughly 20,000 here.
- On content, Aalborg University in Denmark and this university are close, as both teach project management, telecommunications and robotics; it has almost the same size, at about 20,000 students, and is also a public institution.
- FernUniversität in Hagen in Germany pursues a similar profile in optics, signal processing and project management, and it covers fluid dynamics and structural engineering as well, and is far larger, with about 70,000 students against roughly 20,000 here.

*: 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 …).
