Products and brands

Jaume I University aspires to improve its position in the ranking tables. In the 2021 Shanghai Ranking, it appears among the top 700 universities in the world, making it one of the top 20 of universities in Spain. According to the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, it is among the top 1000 institutions worldwide in 2022, in the top 600 for Impact (2021), and 196th in the Young University Rankings 2021. In the 2021 Web of Universities ranking, Jaume I University comes 21st in Spain and 642nd worldwide.

The area with the strongest research performance is chemistry, in particular the Institute of Advanced Materials, with scientists such as Juan Bisquert (Professor of Applied Physics) and Iván Mora-Seró among the world's most cited researchers in the annual ranking published by Clarivate Analytics.

Despite efforts to improve its international research profile, according to most ranking tables, Jaume I University is not among the world's top 500 universities. One of the reasons is the difficulty to attract top researchers from abroad, or indeed from outside the region, due to stringent linguistic requirements (C1 in the CEFR) in the regional language, Valencian, for all permanent staff.

In 2025, researchers at the university conducted a money-sharing experiment called the Dictator Game. The study found that women are 40% more generous than men and showed that generosity was linked to being open and tolerant, with women who were better at reasoning tended to give less.
