In the event of a tie, the jury will take into account the average marks obtained by the students in the subjects in which they were enrolled in the current academic year and which form part of the curriculum of the course. If one of the tied students has taken more subjects than the other, the best grades (equal in number for both competitors) will be used to break the tie.

- Donation for the improvement of the education quality, in the amount of 1.070€ (one thousand and seventy euros);
