[ 20/06/2016 ]

The Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) is the best Spanish university to study sciences and engineering, computing and communication and information technologies. This is the main conclusion of a study done by the Everis Foundation on new graduates hired by private companies in Spain during the last five years.

The second edition of this report was presented today in Madrid and UPV repeated in first place in sciences and engineering, and it spectacularly advanced in computing and ICT (from eighth place to first). This ranking also includes three other educational branches: humanities and other social sciences; health and welfare; and MBA, economics and law.

Especially good working in teams, targeting to achieve results, learning and adapting to changing environments

According to the report, graduates in computing and ICT from the UPV stand out for two main skills: their learning capacity and adaptation to the environment, and their capacity to work in multicultural and multidisciplinary environments.

Regarding engineers and scientists graduated from the UPV, companies think that they are especially good when working in teams, targeting their work to achieve results, and learning and adapting to changing environments. They also stand out for their honesty and ethical commitment, and for their ability to work in international environments.

About the ranking

The results obtained by the Everis Foundation in this second edition of its University-Company ranking are the fruit of evaluations based on the recruitment of 15,485 new graduates by a total of 2,155 private companies throughout Spain that have at least 10 employees from April 2012 to April 2016. The ranking evaluated 95 degree programs, not including postgraduate courses and PhDs, taught in 82 universities.

The Everis Foundation University-Company ranking presents top-rated universities (state and private) through a quantitative analysis of the opinion held by the main talent seekers: the companies.
