Rankings
University rankings are a tool used to evaluate, classify and compare universities based on different criteria of excellence and according to the results obtained in the different indicators analysed. This section is managed by the URL Rankings Unit, which aims to promote and coordinate the participation of the University in the national and international rankings. The ultimate aim of participating in this kind of rankings is that the University’s activity is evaluated and compared with other universities in order to improve its performance in teaching, research, knowledge transfer and attraction of international talent to its classrooms and laboratories.
