Most Similar Schools Locally
- The comparison with Federal Institute of Pará is straightforward on subjects, since both focus on computer vision, ecology and sustainability and engineering, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and diploma programmes, and is larger, enrolling about 14,000 students against roughly 9,000 here.
- Federal University of Santa Catarina works in much the same fields, chiefly computer vision, ecology and sustainability and engineering, and it also offers doctoral programmes, and is larger, enrolling about 26,000 students against roughly 9,000 here.
- In terms of fields, Federal Institute Sul-rio-grandense is the nearest neighbour, with ecology and sustainability and engineering again at the core; it is slightly larger, at about 11,000 students against roughly 9,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Among national alternatives, Federal Institute of Mato Grosso do Sul stands out for its focus on computer vision and engineering, and it covers life sciences as well, and is slightly larger, at about 11,000 students against roughly 9,000 here.
- In terms of fields, Federal Institute of Sergipe is the nearest neighbour, with computer vision and engineering again at the core; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and diploma, and covers life sciences as well.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Mokpo National University, in South Korea, takes a similar route through ecology and sustainability and engineering; it is also a public institution and also offers doctoral programmes.
- Kwangwoon University in South Korea pursues a similar profile in computer vision and engineering, and it has almost the same size, at about 10,000 students, and is private, whereas this school is public.
- University College Cork (Ireland) works on the same fields as this school, chiefly ecology and sustainability and engineering; it also offers doctoral programmes and covers food science and microbiology and genetics as well.
- Polissia National University brings a Ukraine setting to the same core fields, ecology and sustainability and engineering, and it also offers doctoral programmes and covers agriculture and geotechnics as well.
- Looking internationally, University of Minnesota Duluth in the United States is where ecology and sustainability and engineering get a comparable treatment; it is also a public institution and does not run the diploma programmes found 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.

*: 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 …).
