Most Similar Schools Locally
- Both schools build their programmes around ergonomics and UX, industrial design and project management, and SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities is the one to compare first within the country, since it is also a private institution and does not run the mba programmes found here.
- Wyższa Szkoła Informatyki Stosowanej i Zarządzania offers a comparable education in ergonomics and UX, signal processing and industrial design: it covers sound engineering and electrical and electronics as well, and is far smaller, with about 2,000 students against roughly 7,000 here.
- Both schools build their programmes around ergonomics and UX, signal processing and project management, and University of Information Technology and Management in Rzeszów is the one to compare first within the country, since it covers logistics and transportations as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 6,000 students against roughly 7,000 here.
- For students who like the ergonomics and UX, industrial design and project management focus of this institution but want another option nearby, University of Computer Science and Skills in Łódź fits well: it does not run the doctoral and mba programmes found here and covers sound engineering as well.
- On content, University of Information Technology in Katowice and this school are close, as both teach ergonomics and UX, industrial design and project management; it covers sound engineering as well, and is far smaller, with about 1,000 students against roughly 7,000 here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- For industrial design, computer vision and robotics outside the home country, Carnegie Mellon University in the United States is a natural reference; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's, doctoral and mba, and is larger, enrolling about 15,300 students against roughly 7,000 here.
- Students considering a move abroad can look at Universität Koblenz in Germany, where ergonomics and UX, signal processing and project management also form the core, and it covers bioinformatics and bioengineering as well, and is slightly larger, at about 9,000 students against roughly 7,000 here.
- For a study option in France with a comparable spread of signal processing, project management and statistics, Université Paris Dauphine - PSL is the reference point: it runs the same bachelor's, master's, doctoral and mba programmes, and covers logistics and quality as well.
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology brings a the United States setting to the same core fields, robotics, mathematics and AI and machine learning, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's, doctoral and mba, and covers physics and materials as well.
- ESGI in France is the nearest foreign match on ergonomics and UX, signal processing and project management; it is far smaller, with about 2,000 students against roughly 7,000 here, and is also a private institution.
*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 …).
