UCAM continues to improve its ranking results, as is shown in the 'U-Ranking of Spanish Universities 2024', which has been prepared by the BBVA Foundation and the Valencian Institute of Economic Research. According to the recently published report, UCAM has improved its positioning in several areas, as well as globally. 

According to the report, UCAM stands out especially in the area of health sciences, where it is positioned among the top five universities in Spain, results that once again endorse the excellent training and research carried out by the Murcian institution in this field. 

In research, one of the main pillars of the Universidad Católica, it also obtained very positive results, ranking fourth among private universities in this field. He stresses that UCAM has its own research plan that promotes the work of its researchers and enables its students to participate in cutting-edge projects in this field from the moment they enter the University. 

These good results confirm those obtained in the ranking of the Fundación Conocimiento y Desarrollo (Knowledge and Development Foundation) in which UCAM was positioned as the first private university in Spain in attracting private funds for research, demonstrating the confidence that companies place in its ability to develop R&D&I projects and transfer knowledge to the productive sector.
