UIC Barcelona, Spain’s most transparent private University for the fourth consecutive year, according to Fundación Haz

Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC Barcelona) has once again been ranked among the most transparent institutions out of the 40 Spanish private universities assessed in the latest edition of the Fundación Haz report on transparency and good governance – a notable increase from the 26 universities evaluated in the previous edition. UIC Barcelona continues to lead the rankings alongside Universitat Oberta de Catalunya

In the 2025 transparency analysis conducted by Fundación Haz, UIC Barcelona achieved the highest possible score of 56 points, representing full (100%) compliance with all 28 indicators used to assess voluntary transparency on the websites of private universities, making information fully visible and accessible to all stakeholders in a comprehensive and timely manner. 

These results mean that the University retains the “t for transparent” 3-star seal, awarded to institutions that meet between 90% and 100% of the indicators.

UIC Barcelona has maintained consistent levels of transparency across four consecutive editions of the report, demonstrating a stable and consolidated performance in the transparency and systematic updating of its information.

Since 2019, UIC Barcelona has shown continuous improvement in its performance, culminating in full compliance with all indicators in the most recent editions of the report. In 2019, the University scored 30 points and was classified as “translucent”; in 2020, it reached 41 points, entering the category of “transparent university”. In this latest edition, UIC Barcelona has maintained its top score compared to the last four editions, meeting 100% of the indicators.

The UIC Barcelona Statistical Data and Rankings Office is responsible for measuring institutional performance across multiple dimensions, using data and evidence to enhance visibility both nationally and internationally through the social impact of rankings and listings.
