The distinction of “Graduate with Excellence”, mention of “Graduate with Excellence” or simply mention of Excellence (in the bachelor's degree) is a distinction or mention granted by some universities in Spain in each of the university bachelor's degree studies to the students with the best academic performance within of their promotion.
[1] Unlike the Bachelor's Degree Extraordinary Award (which is awarded to the student with the best academic record in the class), the mention of Excellence it is a minor distinction that is not awarded strictly based on the average grade of the academic record, but rather by fulfilling other university academic requirements.
The requirements for granting this mention:[3][4][5] If the total number of students who meet these requirements is greater than 14, the students will be ordered based on the average grade of their academic record.
The granting of this mention to the student means that this mention will appear in their official title of the bachelor's degree study in question.
[6] On the other hand, it is possible to obtain both the Excellence mention and the Bachelor's Degree Extraordinary Award (they have no connection between them, they are independent).
