The UB is once again the only Spanish university included in the world’s top 200 universities
The University of Barcelona (UB) is considered one of the best 200 universities in the world according to the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), a classification also known as the Shanghai Ranking. This is the third consecutive year that the centre has been located between positions 151 and 200 and it is the only Spanish institution included in the ranking, which is headed by American universities. The top European university is Cambridge, which ranks fifth.
Concerning methodology, ARWU uses six objective indicators to rank world universities, including the number of alumni and staff winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals, number of highly cited researchers selected by Thomson Reuters, number of articles published in journals of Nature and Science, number of articles indexed in Science Citation Index – Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index, and per capita performance of a university.
