Every year El Mundo analyzes the fifty bachelor degrees with the highest demand from the students and it highlights the top five universities in Spain, public and private ones, where students can study them. The results of this list are based on data obtained via the universities (on demand, available resources, syllabus, obtained results, and other context data), surveys for teachers and other objective indicators such as international rankings or the reports by the Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation of Spain (ANECA). Each of these aspects counts for a 50%, 40% and a 10% respectively, in the final result of each bachelor degree.
