The Times Higher Education profile identifies Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and reports rank 183 in the World University Rankings 2026.
The source is used for the THE 2026 ranking field and for external ranking identity.
The UAB rankings page states that the university is ranked 211th in QS World University Rankings 2027 and 183rd in THE World University Rankings 2026.
The source is used for the QS 2027 ranking field and as a cross-check for the THE 2026 position.
The UAB in figures page uses the official name Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and gives the address as 08193 Bellaterra, Cerdanyola del Vallès.
The source confirms the main campus municipality and the institution identity.
The catalog shows more than 100 first-cycle degrees by fields of knowledge and separate admission pages for named degrees.
For the program-choice axis this is boundary evidence: the main degree is selected as a named programme, not through a common undergraduate entry followed by later main-field choice.
The Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration page states a duration of 4 academic years and 240 credits.
The page also says that students may obtain the University Business Programme or Economics minor by taking 30 optional credits.
The Bachelor's Degree in Veterinary Medicine page states a duration of 5 academic years and 300 credits.
The source is used for the duration range between the regular four-year and six-year first-cycle routes.
The Bachelor's Degree in Medicine page states a duration of 6 academic years and 360 credits.
The source confirms the maximum regular first-cycle duration found in the UAB catalog.
The page defines a minor as a university itinerary organised by a UAB centre and addressed to students of different bachelor's degree studies.
After completing all subjects in the minor, the student receives a European Diploma Supplement record, and the minor credits form part of the total credits needed for the degree as optional credits of the student's programme.
Students apply for admission to a minor through the UAB online services and then check the enrolment date. This confirms additional-field choice after entry rather than admission-level choice of the main degree.
The source supports programChoice 1 and courseChoice 3: the main programme remains fixed, but part of the optional credit space can be filled through a broad internal minor catalog outside the original programme.
The Business Administration study plan distributes 240 credits across basic training, compulsory subjects, 48 optional credits and the final project.
The fourth-year optional-subject list includes a large set of subjects, and specific specialisations require selected optional credits.
The source confirms that course choice is embedded in degree requirements and rules out courseChoice 0.
The ECIU page describes student exchange agreements with consortium universities and says that courses completed at partner universities are recognised.
This does not raise courseChoice to 4 because the source sits under exchange programmes and does not describe routine selection of individual external courses by a UAB student as part of the home degree plan.
