The University of Barcelona is included amongst the best 150 top universities in the world

The University of Barcelona (UB) is included amongst the 150 top universities in the world and ranks as the top Spanish university, as number 148, according to the ranking created by QS World University Rankings. This ranking assesses, in addition to other parameters, the quality of university research, the hiring level of graduates, commitment to education and international commitment. The British university Cambridge ranks first in this world classification, followed by the North-American universities Harvard and Yale.

Other Spanish universities included in this ranking are the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), which ranks 173rd, and the Autonomous University of Madrid (number 213). There is a total of ten Spanish universities included in the list of 500 centers, one more than there was in 2009.

In addition to occupying a notable position at an international level, the UB is a leader in university research in Spain and carries out several projects to promote the transfer of knowledge and technology from the university setting to production sectors. In this context, it has promoted the creation of several instruments, such as the Barcelona Science park –the first park created in Spain-, the Bosch i Gimpera Foundation and the Patents Center.
