Learning system

In the Teaching category, UCAM has achieved the highest score, with a high level of satisfaction among its students. QS Stars Rating highlights the ratio of students per teacher and the additional training it offers. The study supports the educational model of excellence applied by UCAM Universidad Católica de Murcia, focused on personalised attention with academic and personal tutors and small groups.

This teaching system has as a result a high percentage of employability, which this rating puts at 83.2 % of the graduates. In addition, the number of entrepreneurs is double the national average. This indicator and that of the supports and services offered by the University for the practical training of its students award it four stars in the QS Stars Rating in the Employability category.
