Wednesday, June 6th, 2018. Ramon Llull University (URL) is the second best university of Spain according to U-Multirank. This classification, which this year reaches its fifth edition, is a multidimensional tool developed by the European Commission that evaluates the activity of universities in all their dimensions.

This ranking analyses more than 1,600 universities (75 of which are Spanish) from 95 countries, through 35 indicators grouped into 5 dimensions: 1) teaching and learning; 2) research; 3) knowledge transfer; 4) international orientation and 5) regional engagement.

The scores of the institutions are divided into 5 groups according to their performance with respect to the rest of the universities: (A) very good, (B) good, (C) average, (D) below average, and (E) weak. Of the 35 indicators analysed by U-Multirank, the URL has obtained 10 in "very good" performance; 13 in "good" performance; 6 in the "average of universities"; 5 "below average" and 1 in "weak" performance.

Taking into account all the indicators analysed, the second institution in the Spanish university system that appears on the list is Ramon Llull, after Pompeu Fabra. These good results have also enabled the URL to be ranked as the 73rd university in Europe out of 926 institutions analysed.

The URL is consolidated as one of the pioneering universities in Spain in the international orientation dimension, having obtained 2 indicators in the highest performance ("very good") and 4 in good performance.
