The THE World University Rankings assesses universities from all over the world and ranks them in terms of performance in five areas: teaching, research, citations, international outlook and industry income. In total, thirteen performance indicators are examined, with methods including surveying 22,000 academics. Regarding research, the THE World University Ranking has taken into account 14.4 million publications and more than 108 million citations over five years.
Leaders in research influence and internationalization
Besides achieving ninth position in Spain for its overall score and ranking between 501 and 600 internationally, CEU Universities achieved impressive results in two categories examined in the THE World University Rankings. One of these is research influence, which is chiefly measured on the basis of data taken from Elsevier’s Scopus database, with research quality measured by means of the number of citations studies receive. In citations, CEU Universities is ranked second in Spain and in 109th position internationally.
The international outlook of CEU Universities also received renewed recognition, coming in at 5th position for the proportion of international students here – more than 20% of the student body – which plays a great role in our internationalization.
CEU Universities – including the CEU San Pablo University in Madrid, the CEU Cardenal Herrera University in Valencia, Elche and Castellón, and the Abat Oliba CEU University in Barcelona – forms part of the San Pablo CEU University Foundation. This is the largest privately-run education institution in Spain, covering every stage of development, from pre-school education through to postgraduate programmes.
