On May 8, the ranking of Best Universities 2019 was published. In this ranking, the degree of Environmental Sciences of the University of Cádiz was placed in 5th position among all the Spanish universities that teach this degree.

The criteria to position the degrees are based on data provided by universities (50%), such as university demand, study programmes or human and physical resources, as well as the results of surveys completed by university faculty (40%), where teachers should assess the strengths and weaknesses of their university and outline the main lines of research of the departments.

The remaining 10% of the valuation is obtained from external indicators, such as results in international rankings, reports from the Aneca or results of reports from Spanish universities, among others.
