Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore enters the world’s top 400 and Italy’s top 10 in the QS World University Rankings 2027.

Climbing 21 places, the University reaches #388 globally and now ranks 9th in Italy, marking its strongest QS World University Rankings result in almost a decade.

In the 2027 edition, QS evaluated 1,504 published institutions worldwide, including 47 in Italy, making this result a significant milestone within an increasingly competitive global higher education landscape.

Two indicators stand out in this year’s ranking:

  1. Citations per Faculty

Università Cattolica gained 92 positions, reaching 374th place globally. This confirms the increasing impact and quality of the University’s scientific output, in line with its commitment to strengthening research, supporting young researchers and fostering an environment where knowledge can contribute meaningfully to society.

  1. Employer Reputation

The University improved by 37 positions, reaching 274th place worldwide and entering the global top 300 universities most appreciated by employers. This recognition highlights the credibility of our graduates and the value of an educational experience rooted in academic excellence, international outlook and social responsibility.

This progress marks an important step in Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore’s international journey: not only towards stronger global recognition, but towards becoming, in the words of Rector Elena Beccalli, “not the best university in the world, but the best university for the world”.

🌍 Comillas, epicenter of the international economic debate

The Universidad Pontificia Comillas has hosted the RCEA International Conference in Economics, Econometrics and Finance 2026, one of the most important academic meetings in the economic field worldwide. For several days, researchers, economists and internationally renowned experts have met in Madrid to analyse some of the major challenges that will mark the future of the global economy.

The congress was attended by prominent academics and thought leaders, including Philippe Aghion, Nobel Prize in Economics 2025, along with figures such as Lucrezia Reichlin and Alicia Garcia-Herrero 艾西亞, who contributed their vision on innovation, economic growth, monetary policy, energy transition and transformation of international markets.

In addition to consolidating Comillas as a benchmark in research and knowledge transfer, this meeting has served to promote the exchange of ideas between universities, international organisations, central banks and research centres from all over the world. The debates and papers presented will help guide future economic policies in an increasingly complex and uncertain global context.

Lancaster University continues to be ranked among the world’s top 200, placing 164th in the latest QS World University Rankings.

We have 11 disciplines in the QS world top 100, with Linguistics ranked 2nd globally, and we are proud to be joint 80th worldwide for Sustainability.
