The Spanish Society for Academic Excellence is a nationwide organisation whose main mission is to identify and accredit the best undergraduate students in the country, highlighting them and contributing to their success in the workplace through multiple approaches. To this end, SEDEA carries out two main initiatives. On the one hand, through the National Ranking ‘Top Graduates’, with collaboration of specialists from different areas of knowledge and national universities, who evaluate the curricula with a complex formula. Thus, not only is the average mark of the degree taken into account, but it is also evaluated. Numerous factors as the admission mark of the degree, prizes and distinctions obtained, scholarships obtained for academic merit, courses, languages, presentations at congresses, publications, student representation, voluntary work, social commitment, among others, are also valued. On the other hand, the Exclusive Employment Portal, with the intention that the graduates have direct and exclusive access to job offers.

Participation in these initiatives is free for university students.
