  1. Why do so many Spaniards study in Poland I wonder? Was loads of them when my bro was studying there.

    Independientemente de que la investigación en España sea una mierda, estamos muy afectados por que nuestras universidades tienen poca influencia angloparlante, lo cual hace que las escalas hechas por universidades angloparlantes para valorarse a sí mismas nos infravaloren

  3. Los rankings de universidades son basicamente propaganda anglosaxona que no explica absolutamente nada.

    En India sacan a CEOS de multinacionales como pipas y ninguna de sus universidades esta top 100.

  4. In Europe rankings usually don’t matter much for your chances of getting a job after graduation, except in a few specific industries (like finance) where prestige is used as a quick filter. Most ranking systems are driven heavily by research output and citations, which is largely irrelevant if you’re not planning to go into academia.

    Also, keep in mind that many of the “top” institutions for certain careers don’t show up well in these rankings because they’re specialized or evaluated differently. Spain does have genuinely top-tier options in specific areas. For example, ESADE and IE Business School are widely regarded as world-class for MBAs (see Financial Times business school rankings).

    In practice, the main advantage of a more “prestigious” university is the network: classmates, alumni, and recruiting events. Beyond that, what you do during your degree (internships, projects, skills, and experience) tends to matter far more than a ranking number. At least in Europe, in the US it might be slightly different.
