Most Similar Schools Locally
- Also strong in computer vision, life sciences and engineering, Fluminense Federal University makes a sensible second look at home; it is larger, enrolling about 21,000 students against roughly 11,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Federal Institute of Sergipe sits close to this institution on computer vision, life sciences and engineering; it is slightly smaller, at about 9,000 students against roughly 11,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- A good alternative in the same country is Federal Institute of Paraíba, which likewise covers computer vision, life sciences and engineering; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and diploma, and is slightly larger, at about 13,000 students against roughly 11,000 here.
- Where this school leans on computer vision, life sciences and engineering, Federal Institute of Espírito Santo does the same, and it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and diploma.
- Federal Institute of Piauí works in much the same fields, chiefly computer vision, life sciences and engineering, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and diploma programmes, and has almost the same size, at about 10,000 students.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Seen from abroad, Konkuk University (South Korea) is a close relative on subject matter, since computer vision, life sciences and engineering are central to both, and it also offers doctoral programmes, and is larger, enrolling about 20,000 students against roughly 11,000 here.
- In South Korea, Daegu University teaches much the same core subjects, life sciences and engineering, and it is private, whereas this school is public, and does not run the diploma programmes found here.
- Tehran University of Medical Sciences, based in Iran, is built around life sciences much like this school, and it is also a public institution and also offers doctoral programmes.
- Students considering a move abroad can look at Capital Medical University in China, where life sciences also form the core, and it is slightly larger, at about 16,094 students against roughly 11,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Anhui Medical University brings a China setting to the same core fields, life sciences, and it covers bioinformatics and microbiology and genetics as well, and is larger, enrolling about 18,700 students against roughly 11,000 here.
*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.
- Bioengineering, Biomedical Sensors, Biotechnologies, Engineering, Environmental Technologies, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Research and Development, Sustainable Development
*: 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 …).
