THE AREAS OF EDUCATION OF THE UNIVERSITAT DE BARCELONA AND THE UNIVERSITAT AUTÒNOMA DE BARCELONA THE ONLY SPANISH UNIVERSITIES AMONG THE TOP 100 IN THE QS RANKING OF UNIVERSITIES

The QS ranking of universities has been published. This ranking includes a classification by areas. It is with great satisfaction that we inform you that the areas of Education of the Universitat de Barcelona and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona are the only Spanish universities that are in the first 100 positions.

 

We are in the space from 51 to 100 where there is no specific classification or assessment (the order that appears is alphabetical). Within the European Union, only Oslo, Leuven and Helsinki are above the UB (considering Europe as a whole, we must add 8 universities from the United Kingdom).

 

With all the limitations and criticisms that can be made of the rankings, it reflects the importance of the work that is being done by all. Surely there are specific groups in other universities that are better than ours, or more recognized researchers. But it is the sum of all our efforts that puts us in this position. And the more we collaborate among the groups and the more we are aware that the union adds up, the more recognition and visibility our research will have.

 

Congratulations to everyone
