Writing/Raúl García Hémonnet

Occupational Therapy of the URJC is once again at the head of its category, as can be seen in the latest edition of the classification of the best 50 careers in Spain, recently published by the newspaper El Mundo'. This degree from the Rey Juan Carlos University stands out, according to the Unidad Editorial newspaper, for being internationally certified by the 'World Federation of Occupational Therapists' and being a member of the 'European Network of Occupational Therapy in Higher Education'. It therefore continues with the trend that began in 2017 of being the best degree in Spain in this specialty.

The URJC also obtains good results in degrees such as Environmental Sciences, Physiotherapy and Teaching in Early Childhood Education, which manage to position themselves among the 5 best in Spain in each of their categories.

According to the Deputy Vice-Rector for Strategy, Diana Benito, “the results obtained by the URJC reflect, once again, its commitment to teaching and academic quality. It is especially notable that the Rey Juan Carlos University has remained the best university in Spain in the degree of Occupational Therapy, supported by its international certification and membership in important academic networks. This achievement is a testament to the quality of their program and their dedication to this discipline. In addition, our university has demonstrated its strength in a variety of areas, occupying positions among the four best in the country in Environmental Sciences, Physiotherapy and Teaching in Early Childhood Education and among the five best in Audiovisual Communication. “These achievements underline the diversity and depth of our academic offering.”

Although this year it has experienced a slight decrease in the number of degrees where it is among the five best universities, the URJC continues to be a reference in the national academic field. At a regional level, it is positioned as the fifth public university in the Community of Madrid, and at a national level, it is among the sixteen best public universities, exceeding the national average and demonstrating its relevance in the Spanish university context.

Diana Benito wants to point out that “these results are a reflection of the hard work and selfless dedication of the URJC community. Congratulations to all of you who collaborate every day in achieving these notable achievements.”

The new edition of El Mundo's '50 Careers' ranking has provided new support for the commitment to the teaching and academic quality of the Rey Juan Carlos University.
