U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

UPF's Polytechnic School teaches four bachelor's degree programmes, namely Audiovisual Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Telematics Engineering. The three are highly integrated, sharing many first-year and several second-year subjects. It is thus possible for Audiovisual Systems Engineering students to obtain a second bachelor's degree in just a little extra time if they take the Computer Science or Telematics Engineering programme's compulsory subjects as optional subjects in their original studies.

The approach of the Master in Telecommunications Engineering is eminently based on practical cases brought from the world of business or the world of research, where the professors are experts who have lived the real case, and where students carry out group work based on simulation, realization of functional prototypes and presentations, with evaluation based on individual tests, group deliveries and group and individual interviews. Group work is highly relevant, and the approach has a large technological component but also from the field of management.
