Best Universities for Multimedia in Latin America

Updated: February 29, 2024

Ranking by academic field

Below is a list of best universities in Latin America ranked based on their research performance in Multimedia. A graph of 104K citations received by 17.7K academic papers made by 85 universities in Latin America was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.

Please note that our approach to subject rankings is based on scientific outputs and heavily biased on art-related topics towards institutions with computer science research profiles.
