Most Similar Schools Locally

Escuela Politécnica de Mieres is the closest domestic counterpart for agriculture, geotechnics and civil engineering; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and is smaller, enrolling about 900 students against roughly 1,500 here.
Escuela Superior y Técnica de Ingenieros de Minas works in much the same fields, chiefly geotechnics, civil engineering and materials, and it is also a public institution and does not run the doctoral programmes found here.
Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of geotechnics, civil engineering and ecology and sustainability can consider Facultad de Ciencias Geológicas, and it covers marine science as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 800 students against roughly 1,500 here.
Escola Politécnica Superior de Enxeñaría overlaps with this institution on agriculture, geotechnics and civil engineering, so the two are easy to compare, and it covers food science and chemistry as well, and is slightly larger, at about 2,000 students against roughly 1,500 here.
Another national school that puts geotechnics, civil engineering and materials at the centre is Escuela de Ingeniería de Minas, Energía y Materiales de Oviedo, and it is smaller, enrolling about 600 students against roughly 1,500 here, and is also a public institution.

Most Similar Schools Abroad

For agriculture, geotechnics and project management outside the home country, AgroParisTech in France is a natural reference; it is larger, enrolling about 2,500 students against roughly 1,500 here, and is also a public institution.
In France, École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-Belleville teaches much the same core subjects, civil engineering, project management and ecology and sustainability, and it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
Hochschule für nachhaltige Entwicklung Eberswalde in Germany pursues a similar profile in agriculture, geotechnics and civil engineering, and it covers aerospace and food science as well, and is slightly larger, at about 2,200 students against roughly 1,500 here.
Students considering a move abroad can look at National University of Forestry and Wood Technology of Ukraine in Ukraine, where agriculture, ecology and sustainability and materials also form the core, and it covers chemical engineering and industrial design as well, and is far larger, with about 6,000 students against roughly 1,500 here.
A foreign alternative with a similar emphasis on agriculture, ecology and sustainability and materials is Voronezh State University of Forestry and Technologies in Russia, and it covers chemical engineering and industrial design as well, and is far larger, with about 5,000 students against roughly 1,500 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:
