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 .

Chemical engineering is directly concerned with obtaining various products (fuels, solvents, medicines, paints, plastics, detergents, etc.) and services (water and energy supply, waste management and valorisation, etc.) that ensure our quality of life and without which modern life as we know it would be impossible. In addition, society demands that the most innovative technologies be used in these processes to ensure that they are efficient, sustainable, economically viable, safe and environmentally friendly.

The PROFILES that allow the focus of the EPSEB's teaching to be identified in the field of building construction are rehabilitation, energy efficiency in building processes and management and supervision of these building processes. ,Many of our graduates undertake careers in engineering companies in the construction sector, where they participate in all the phases of the business: design, on-site construction, management and maintenance. An ever-growing share of graduates carries out similar tasks in the energy, environmental and consultancy sectors. A research career is a natural outlet for some of our master’s degree graduates and all of our PhD holders, who are particularly well suited to work in industrial R&D departments. Also, thanks to their solid fundamental training, some continue in academia.

The master's degree in Advanced Building Construction (master's degree website) produces graduates for the building construction sector, which is increasingly automated. In the current context, which has seen a decrease in the number of new buildings being built in Spain, concepts such as sustainability and energy efficiency are increasingly important, as are the recovery, conservation and improvement of built heritage. The master's degree therefore provides an education that confronts the sector's new challenges and the skills students need to understand and deepen their knowledge.
