The Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) distances itself from the average of Spanish universities in two key aspects to assess its teaching and research: it has a much lower student to teacher ratio than the average and a patent rate per researcher significantly higher than the average, according to the U-Ranking of Spanish Universities 2018 that the BBVA Foundation has published today.
The study also shows that the UPCT has improved its teaching quality index by 5.6% compared to the previous year, placing it in the fourth block of the best Spanish universities in this regard.
The global assessment, which assesses both teaching, research and innovation and technological development, U-Ranking places the Polytechnic of Cartagena in the seventh block of universities best positioned, the same level as last year.
The same seventh place occupies such important universities as the Complutense University of Madrid and the universities of Salamanca, Granada, Seville, Murcia and the Basque Country, among others.
