Journal of the Spanish Institute for Strategic Studies Núm. 7 / 2016
provided in the report of the Conference of Rectors of Spanish Universities (CRUE)
for 2012, according to which the success and performance rates of students of undergraduate
Engineering degrees at public Spanish universities during the 2010/2011
academic year were 70.7% and 55.5% respectively. 62 These figures are lower than those
obtained by cadets at the three general military academies, including the AGM.
While data will soon be available on the graduation rates of the first students to
study the different engineering degrees at general military academies, 63 in the meantime
we can compare the results obtained by cadets after the first year of the new education
model being introduced (2010/11) with those obtained by students of other
Spanish universities after the first academic year of launching the degree course in
question. Tables 2 and 3 show that the success and performance rates of cadets on
completion of the first year of the course at all three CUDs are higher than those
obtained by most students taking the same course in other Spanish universities.

and Operations Research degree courses at different Spanish universities. 64

63 On this point, let us not forget that the first cadets to study at general military academies where
the new military education model for officers was introduced will not complete their studies at the
CUDs until July 2014.
