New edition of the publication ’The UB in figures ’

Institucional Coinciding with the inauguration of the academic year, the new edition of The UB in figures has arrived, with the most important data for the academic year 2021-2022. This year, the document presents a new design that shows in an understandable and attractive way the main strengths of the University and its academic activity, as well as the evolution of some variables over the last academic years. The document points out the extensive educational offer of the University of Barcelona, with 73 bachelor's degrees, 16 dual study itineraries, 173 university master's degrees and 46 doctoral programs. In total, more than 60,000 students: 41,540 undergraduate, 5,318 university master's and 10,1891 postgraduate students, plus 5,007 researchers in training. It should be noted that, according to the study of labour market insertion carried out by the Catalan University System Quality Assurance Agency (AQU), 87.3% of UB graduates are employed within one year of completing their studies, a figure that rises to 90.2% in the case of master's degree graduates. In the research section, The UB in figures includes, for its first time, the graphic treatment of the evolution —over the last five years— of scientific publications by UB researchers in indexed journals. Thus, it allows to observe that it has gone from 5,714 publications in 2017 to 7,876 in 2021.
