Abstract

Nowadays, the presence of women in the university is the majority. The question is whether indicators of university results used in university rankings are linked to this presence. The aim of the article is to identify indicators considering different dimensions like teaching or volume of scientific production, analysing in what way the presence of women can be explained. The study involves six international academic rankings. The results showed that certain indicators, such as internationalization or industry income, were those that helped most to discriminate the unequal presence of women among university students. Universities should establish measures for the international recruitment of students and teaching staff, as well as designing measures that favour international collaboration. Likewise, the higher the income, the lower the presence of women, which highlights the scant presence of women following technical and technological courses, which are precisely those sorts of qualifications that capture more resources from industry.
