Granada University only Spanish uni to make world top 50

Granada University is the only Spanish higher education institution to appear in the world’s top 50.

The IT and Communications department of Granada University jumped from coming 101^st in 2012 to 42^nd place in the prestigious Shanghai’s 2015 rankings.

The result, also meaning the school comes seventh in Europe, is even more impressive given recent financial cuts.

The only other Spanish university making the top 200 was the University of Barcelona while the best internationally was Harvard, USA, at number one and Cambridge, UK, at number five.
