Activities

Among its functions, in 2019 SEDEA created the National Ranking of the Best Graduates in Spain to recognize the best graduates in the country in each academic discipline. Candidates are selected by a committee of more than 30 professors, researchers and experts in each area of knowledge, classifying the brightest graduates of each degree with a multi-parametric curricular evaluation. The final average grade of the academic record is the factor with the most specific weight in the final assessment. However, more factors are taken into account: high school honours, extraordinary high school award, honours at university degree subjects, having obtained the Extraordinary End of Degree Award, awards or distinctions achieved, international or collaboration scholarships, academic contests or competitions, languages , conducting courses, participating in conferences, lectures at conferences, publications, student representation, volunteering, social commitment and, in general, any other academic merit.
