Some degrees in particular, such as Business Administration and Management, Biotechnology, Computer Engineering or Computational Mathematics, filled their places 100%.

Furthermore, in 2021/2022, 58.6% of the new students enrolled in any of the Valencian public universities managed to access the degree they most wanted and which they had marked as their first choice in their application. According to data recently updated by SIUVP, the web platform managed by the Ivie, which integrates information on the Universitat de València, the University of Alacant, the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló, the Miguel Hernández University of Elche and the Universitat Politècnica de València, among the degrees that received the most applications as first option is Medicine, with more than 6,000 pre-enrolments; Nursing with more than 3,000; Teacher in Primary School Education with nearly 2,100 applicants as first option or Computer Engineering with almost 1,400 pre-enrolments as first option.

The SIUVP platform (Valencian Public University Indicators System), created by the Valencian Institute of Economic Research (Ivie), has just updated 33 of the indicators it integrates. In addition to information on university access, it has published new data including financial figures, references to human resources and news on research and transfer activities.

The five Valencian public universities together had a total income of 1,316.4 million euros in 2020 (latest year available). Of this budget, 78.3% came from public sector support, while a further 10.7% of the resources are obtained through public fees and prices for student enrolment in any type of courses in own centres (Degree, Master’s Degree, Doctorate and others). This income, together with income from R&D projects, contracts and consultancy services and the continuing education courses offered by the universities, constitute its sources of funding.

The information collected on the SIUVP platform ranges from the most purely academic aspects, such as teaching supply and demand, to more specific economic data on the resources and results of each university’s activity. Specifically, the indicators are grouped into the following fields:

•             University access

•             Students

•             Academic performance

•             Internationalisation

•             Human Resources

•             Research and transfer

•             Economic Data
