The ranking, from the Valencian Institution of Economical Investigations and BBVA Foundation, puts UCAM as the first university of the region, with many points more than the other universities, and places it as the 17th university with the lowest rate of abandonment of the course the students first start. Only 12,9 get off the higher education system, and 20,9 don’t finish the degree, that they started.

Also, the students receive orientation during their admission and during the development of the studies, and the design of these programs are factors, that have contributed in these results. The University is at head of Spain in the process of renovating degree accreditation at ANECA (National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation of Spain).

This percentage is also higher than the national medium.

More than 60% of the students of the University come from outside of the region. Furthermore, 500 Spanish students spent time abroad in the more than 300 partner universities, that UCAM has all over the world, thanks to the international mobility programs at the disposal of the students.
