You should submit the unweighted mean or average mark of the subjects in the academic record of the first 180 studied and completed credits of the STEM degree that you have included in your entry.

No, in order to take part in the WONNOW Awards it is necessary to have studied your STEM undergraduate degree at a Spanish university and for it to be approved by the  Spanish National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA).

The length of the letter must not exceed 700 words and the video must not exceed 1.5 minutes. If you need help with the preparation, there is an example letter in the entry registration form, in the same section where you can upload the file.

You should send a curriculum that contains all the information that you think we need to know about you to advance through the various selection process phases.

No, the unweighted mean or average mark of the subjects in the academic record of the first 180 studied and completed credits of your degree is evaluated.

If it is a dual degree, yes. If they are two separate degree, you should enter using the STEM degree for which you have the highest mark in the first 180 studied and completed credits. However, you must include information about and the mark for the other degree(s), because, although it is not a requirement in the selection process, it is a significant positive achievement that is taken into account.

No, you must enter using the mark for the first 180 studied and completed credits of your degree.

In that case, calculate the unweighted average of the first 180 studied and completed credits yourself. Do this using the certificate or academic record that your university can give you and also include the calculation you have performed so that we can check it (a copy of the spreadsheet you used, for example).
