The Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) ranks highly in 13 academic fields in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2023.

It is also among the 250 best higher education centres in Mechanical, Aeronautical and Manufacturing Engineering; in Mathematics; and in Political and International Studies.

This study takes five major factors into account: the university’s academic reputation; its reputation in the business world; the average number of citations that the scientific publications of its research staff have received in Scopus over the last 5 years; the “h index”, which measures both the quantity (productivity) and the quality (impact) of research activity; and the international network of research activities. To do this, the results of surveys of approximately 130,000 academics and 75,000 employers have been taken into account.
Prepared by the British consultancy firm Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), this global ranking evaluates the performance of 15,703 programmes (500 more than in the last edition) offered by 1,594 universities in 93 countries. The 2023 edition of the QS World University Rankings by Subject, which has been published annually since 2011, focuses on a total of 54 academic disciplines.
