Women still majority at German colleges, study shows DW 03/06/2025
Briefly

A recent study by the Centre for Higher Education (CHE) indicates that women constitute 50.9% of registered students in Germany, a rise from 50.2% two years prior. This is significant as women were only allowed to study at universities in Germany 125 years ago, starting with Johanna Kappes. However, subject enrollment shows persistent gender biases, with women underrepresented in fields like computer science and engineering, while dominating areas such as educational sciences. Experts warn that these disparities may intensify existing issues like the gender pay gap.
Recent statistics reveal that women now comprise 50.9% of college students in Germany, marking a historic shift in educational enrollment since 125 years ago.
Analysis shows significant gender disparities in subject choices, with women underrepresented in traditionally male-dominated fields, which raises concerns about future workforce equality.
