Female students statistics

The following charts were updated in August 2023 (data source: TISS) to give an overview of the percentage of female students in geodesy at TU Wien in comparison to the overall situation at our university. Please note that due to the relatively small number of total students in our field, the yearly variation is quite high.

Diagram showing the percentages of female beginners for geodesy studies in comparison to all studies at TU Wien since 1992 — Percentage of female beginners

Students are counted as beginners only if they start studying geodesy for the first time, thus mainly bachelor students are included, but also master and doctoral students with other previous studies than geodesy at the TU Wien.
