Internationalization has established itself as one of the main hallmarks of the Universidad Católica de Murcia (UCAM), as reflected in various analyses. The most recent of these, the latest edition of the CYD Foundation Ranking, highlights the university's strong capacity to attract students from outside the Region of Murcia and from abroad.

This conclusion is supported by the fact that more than half of its master's students and nearly four out of ten undergraduate students come from other Spanish autonomous communities. Furthermore, UCAM currently hosts around 3,500 international students from 135 different countries, forming a diverse academic community that creates a multicultural environment on its campuses and underscores its global positioning.

One of the main drivers behind this reality is its international academic offer, featuring seven undergraduate degrees taught entirely in English. These include the Bachelor's Degrees in Business Administration, Dentistry, Physical Activity and Sport Sciences, Psychology, International Relations, and Veterinary Medicine. This is complemented by a wide range of master's programs in English in fields such as business management, tourism, bilingual education, and sports management.

This international strength adds to other outstanding results achieved by UCAM in this edition of the CYD Ranking, which recognizes the Catholic University with 13 high-performance indicators. Among these, the most prominent are research funding acquisition, knowledge transfer, patent generation, and graduate employability.
