UIC Barcelona once again features in the prestigious ranking published by the newspaper El Mundo, which lists the fifty most sought-after degree programmes among students and the top five universities in which to study them.

In the 25th edition of the ranking, the Bachelor’s Degree in Dentistry remains in second place in its category, just behind the Complutense University of Madrid. UIC Barcelona also ranks among the top ten private universities in Spain.

To produce this report, the newspaper carefully analyses 27 selection criteria, considers the opinions of more than 2,000 lecturers and draws on other external studies such as international rankings and reports by the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA), among others.

The Faculty of Dentistry’s commitment to teaching excellence and research is once again recognised with another strong performance in the 2026 edition of this ranking, which adds to the Faculty’s presence in major national and international rankings, such as the CyD Ranking (1st position) and the QS World University Rankings by Subject (36th worldwide among 150 ranked universities and second among the five Spanish universities included).

The level of research carried out at the Faculty has also been acknowledged once again in the ranking issued by Stanford University (Ranking of the World Scientists: World’s Top 2% Scientists), where four Faculty professors are included among the top 2% most-cited researchers in the world based on their scientific output in 2024.
