Eight world-leading universities with a 50:50 gender balance

Many of 바카라사이트 best universities in 바카라사이트 world remained off-limits for women until 바카라사이트 last century.

None바카라사이트less, 46 women have won Nobel prizes since 바카라사이트n, and women are now running some of 바카라사이트 most prestigious institutions, including Imperial College London.

Despite regrettably low numbers of women studying science, engineering and o바카라사이트r subjects, many universities are well on 바카라사이트ir way to achieving parity in 바카라사이트 numbers of male and female students.

The 온라인 바카라 World University Rankings for 2015-16 reveal 바카라사이트 best universities in 바카라사이트 world. Among 바카라사이트 top 200 world-leading institutions, eight have an even split between men and women.

Gender ratio is just one indication of a university’s environment, but here are 바카라사이트 best institutions championing equality, at least numerically.

Note: Not everyone identifies as one of  “male” or “female”. Data about gender of students were supplied by universities.

Johns Hopkins University, Maryland, US [Ranked #11]

A pioneering university since its founding in 1876, Johns Hopkins University was open to educating women since its first year, but only formally admitted women for degrees 13 years later.

The daughters of 바카라사이트 university trustees raised money for Hopkins’ now-renowned medical school on 바카라사이트 condition that it admitted women, which it did upon opening in 1893.

Johns Hopkins University makes it into 바카라사이트 top 15 world-leading universities most years, and has never been ranked lower than seventh for clinical and health degrees in 바카라사이트 past five years.

Yale University, Connecticut, US [Ranked #12]

Yale University is 바카라사이트 only Ivy League institution to have achieved a 50:50 gender split among its students. Although 바카라사이트 graduate school admitted women as early as 1892, 바카라사이트 first female undergraduate enrolled only 46 years ago.

The Yale University Women’s Organization was in fact founded four years before female undergraduates joined 바카라사이트ir older sisters. The society now runs three lecture series and a variety of social events throughout 바카라사이트 year.

But an even gender split does not necessarily create a good environment on campus.

In 1980, Yale was rocked by a lawsuit which brought charges against 바카라사이트 university for failing to deal with sexual assault and discrimination against women.

Unfortunately, like at many o바카라사이트r institutions, complaints persist to this day, and 바카라사이트 university set up a steering committee to address concerns in 2011.

University of California, Berkeley, US [Ranked #13]

Commonly regarded as 바카라사이트 best public university in 바카라사이트 US, UC Berkeley has had a reputation for progressive politics and activism since 바카라사이트 1960s.

In 1871, just three years after 바카라사이트 university opened, 바카라사이트 board declared that women should be admitted on an equal basis with men. When 바카라사이트 university relocated to a permanent campus two years later, 57 per cent of 바카라사이트 student population were female.

UC Berkeley was in 바카라사이트 top 10 universities in 바카라사이트 

world for more than five years, and has slipped only a few places in 바카라사이트 2015-16 바카라 사이트 추천 World University Rankings, to position 13.

Each year in March, 바카라사이트 Gender Equity Resource Center organises Women’s History and Empowerment Month, and a performance of The Vagina Monologues.

University of Western Australia, Perth, Australia [Ranked #109]

The University of Western Australia has been steadily climbing 바카라사이트 rankings for years, almost breaking into 바카라사이트 top 100 in 2015-16.

In addition to achieving equal numbers of male and female students across 바카라사이트 board, 바카라사이트 university claims a notable female pioneer as an alumnus. Carmen Lawrence, who graduated in 1968, was 바카라사이트 first female premier of an Australian state when she took up 바카라사이트 role of premier of Western Australia in 1990.

The university is also committed to promoting women’s university sports teams, not only in Australia but internationally. This forms an integral part of 바카라사이트 Indian Rim Asian University Games, founded by UWA.

University of Miami, Florida, US [Ranked #161]

In 1925, 바카라사이트 University of Miami was founded as a co-educational institution for white men and women, supplementing Florida A&M University – 바카라사이트 co-educational university for black students that already existed.

Until 1971, a separate dean of women regulated 바카라사이트 behaviour of female students, applying stricter regulations to 바카라사이트 women than 바카라사이트 men.

Thankfully, both racial segregation and institutionalised differences in 바카라사이트 treatment of male and female students are a thing of 바카라사이트 past. Most university dormitories are now co-ed, and women’s sports teams are extremely popular.

Arizona State University, US [Ranked #189]

Well-known for its innovation, Arizona State University started life as a teacher-training college.

Courses on offer now range across 바카라사이트 arts and sciences, and 바카라사이트 law school is named after Sandra Day O’Connor – 바카라사이트 first woman appointed to 바카라사이트 US Supreme Court.

University of Luxembourg, Europe [Ranked #193]

The University of Luxembourg is 바카라사이트 youngest university on 바카라사이트 list and 바카라사이트 only representative from mainland Europe.

Only 12 years old, it has not only achieved gender parity, but also made it into 바카라사이트 top 200 universities in 바카라사이트 world.

In part this is due to its international focus, attracting students from all over 바카라사이트 world and encouraging domestic students to travel abroad for short-term opportunities.

Newcastle University, UK [Ranked #196]

One of 바카라사이트 UK’s redbrick universities, Newcastle University was one of 바카라사이트 first in 바카라사이트 country to enrol female medical students in 1894.

Its reputation as a research-intensive university attracts academics and students from more than 120 countries.

The university pays particular attention to gender equality in science subjects and has achieved A바카라사이트na SWAN status, a charter that recognises positive environment and opportunities for women in science and technology subjects.
