European higher education gender trends

Overview

Data from Eurostat regarding 2024 European higher education indicates that women maintain a majority in both enrollment and graduation rates. Within the European Union, approximately 19.1 million people are enrolled in higher education, with the majority pursuing bachelor’s degrees (59%), followed by master’s degrees (29.4%) and doctoral studies (3.8%).

While women hold an advantage in overall participation, significant gender disparities remain in specific disciplines. For instance, in Information Technology, male graduates outnumber female graduates by nearly four to one. The most common fields of study across the EU are business, administration, and law, which represent 22% of all students and approximately one in four awarded degrees.
