Most Similar Schools Locally
- Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of project management, computer vision and engineering can consider Federal Institute of North Minas Gerais, and it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and diploma.
- A good alternative in the same country is Federal Institute of São Paulo, which likewise covers project management, computer vision and engineering; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and diploma, and is larger, enrolling about 30,000 students against roughly 20,000 here.
- Another national school that puts project management, computer vision and engineering at the centre is Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, and it also offers doctoral programmes, and is smaller, enrolling about 12,000 students against roughly 20,000 here.
- Federal Institute Catarinense overlaps with this school on project management and engineering, so the two are easy to compare, and it is smaller, enrolling about 9,000 students against roughly 20,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Another national school that puts project management, computer vision and engineering at the centre is Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas, and it also offers doctoral programmes, and is smaller, enrolling about 9,000 students against roughly 20,000 here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- If this school is on your list for project management, computer vision and engineering, Incheon National University in South Korea deserves a comparison, because it is also a public institution and also offers doctoral programmes.
- For project management, computer vision and engineering outside the home country, Kookmin University in South Korea is a natural reference; it is private, whereas this school is public, and does not run the diploma programmes found here.
- Abroad, Aalborg University (Denmark) covers project management and engineering in a comparable way, and it covers telecommunications and robotics as well, and has almost the same size, at about 20,000 students.
- Seen from abroad, University of Science and Technology Beijing (China) is a close relative on subject matter, since engineering are central to both, and it is also a public institution and also offers doctoral programmes.
- Beyond national borders, Ningbo University stands out as a comparable school for engineering; it also offers doctoral programmes and covers logistics and marine science as well.
*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.
- Continuous Improvement, Engineering, Innovation, Lean Manufacturing, Project Management, Quality Management, 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 …).
