In the 2016 Times Higher Education (THE) 150 Under 50 Rankings, the UPC is ranked in the 101-150 band at the global level and in the 60-89 band in Europe. Within Spain, the UPC is rated as one of the top technical universities (1-2 band) and in the 5-10 band within the national university system.
This year the number of universities included in the ranking has been increased from 100 to 150. As in previous years, bibliometric indicators are based on Elsevier’s Scopus database. The UPC did best in the area of “international outlook”, where the factors taken into account are the international-to-domestic ratio for both students and staff, and the proportion of the university’s total research journal publications that have at least one international co-author.
More information on the UPC's specific scores on each of the indicators and the evolution of its performance over the years can be found at the University’s Rankings Observatory.
