The CYD ranking is the largest ranking of Spanish universities and analyzes, from various sources, 94% of the existing ones. In this edition, it studies 76 academic centers, 25 fields of knowledge and 2,925 bachelor's and master's degree programs. To do so, it divides the 37 indicators into five areas: teaching and learning, research, knowledge transfer, international orientation and contribution to regional development. The University of Navarra obtains a total of 25 indicators of higher performance, 7 of intermediate performance and 5 of lower performance. 

The study, which can be consulted at https://www.rankingcyd.org/ and which offers relative indicators that analyze the efficiency of universities, aims to help students find their way around when looking for a center of study and to offer strategic information to university management teams and public administrators. It also provides information for the U-Multirank ranking, which is presented in June and allows Spanish universities to be compared with 1,760 other universities in 96 countries.
