The Universitat Internacional de Catalunya joins the Forbes list: Best Universities 2025, according to the Spanish edition of Forbes magazine.
In this edition, 89 universities registered by the Integrated University Information System (SIIU) of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport were included, of which only 20 have stood out on this list.
This list evaluates the academic content of the courses, diversity, the balance between research and preparation of students for working life, career opportunities, prestige perceived by students, networking and internationalisation.
The evaluation criteria for this ranking have been analysed by an international committee of experts in higher education.
The criteria are divided into 5 blocks: Price and accessibility (10%); student experience (30%); preparation for working life (30%); quality of research and teaching staff (15%) and international perspective (15%).
Forbes based the analysis of the Forbes list: The 20 best universities 2025 on data from the Barometer of University Employability and Employment, from the Observatory of University Employability and Employment, statistics and indicators from the SIIU, as well as the data collected by the universities themselves through a survey with more than 50 questions.
