What are your equivalents to Oxford and Cambridge, insofar as there are any?

- ENA
- Université Paris-Sorbonne
- École Normale Supérieure de Lyon
- Sciences Politique


Most known by name i would say is Science Po and ENA. Most politics and presidents came from there, so they also are very criticized lately for producing the same types of people.

[Sarin]

Quoting the topmost one in India :

Science - Hindu College , DU (Delhi University)
Medical - AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences)
Engineering - IIT (Indian Institute of Technology)
Law - NLSIU (National Law School of India University)
Business Management - IIM (Indian Institute of Management)



Half of those desi nerds in US usually from IITs & IIMs .

[Erronkari]

USP, UNESP, UNIFESP UFRJ, PUC (private), etc.

PUC é muito boa, pena que é cristã.

Eu estudo nela.

The ones that come to my mind right now...

In Spain:

Universidad Complutense (Madrid)

Universidad de Barcelona (Barcelona)

Universidad de Salamanca (Salamanca)

Universidad de Valladolid (Valladolid)

Universidad de Navarra (Pamplona)

There are many other universities in Spain, but those ones (and probably others) I know they are among the most prestigious.

In Venezuela:

Universidad Simon Bolivar (USB) (Caracas)

Universidad Metropolitana (UNIMET) (Caracas)

Universidad Catolica Andres Bello (UCAB) (Caracas)

Universidad Central de Venezuela (UCV) (Caracas)

Universidad de Oriente (various campuses spread in several eastern Venezuelan cities, like Barcelona, Puerto La Cruz, Maturin, etc)

Universidad de Carabobo (Mostly in Valencia, but also has a satellite campus in Maracay, Aragua)

Universidad Centro-Occidental Lisandro Alvarado (Central Western University) (Barquisimeto)

Universidad del Zulia (Maracaibo)

Universidad de Los Andes (ULA) (Merida City, but also has two satellite campuses in the states of Trujillo and Tachira)

Universidad Nacional Experimental del Tachira (San Cristobal)

There are many other Universities in Venezuela, but those are the most mentioned ones.

I thought Salamanca and Valladolid were Spain's most prestigious universities?

YES, I forgot them :picard1:

I just edited my post.

Top Universities in Portugal in 2022 based on international rankings:

1. University of Porto
2. University of Lisbon
3. New University of Lisbon
4. University of Coimbra
5. University of Minho
6. University of Aveiro
7. Portuguese Catholic University

In terms of historical prestige, Coimbra would be the Portuguese equivalent to Oxford. It is among the ten oldest universities of the world.

In Hungary:

ELTE
Corvinus
Semmelweis

[Gamaliel]

Canada (Ontario) depends entirely on program: Queen's University (very expensive), Western University (especially for Business, Richard Ivey can have you recruited for Wall Street), McMasters (for Medical Sciences), Waterloo (mainly for Sciences, not difficult to attend for anything else), University of Toronto (the "wokest"... ironically Jordan Peterson taught here)
Outside of Ontario, University of British Columbia and maybe University of Ottawa
None of these schools are too difficult to attend in my honest opinion (as long as you have A grade and A = 85 in Canada) unless you intend on STEM at McMasters or Waterloo
