Students by study programs

At the University of Vienna, study programs for bachelor’s and master’s/diploma studies are grouped into 37 directorates of studies (SPL), while the doctoral/PhD programs are distributed across 18 SPLs.

Significantly more women study humanities, cultural studies, social sciences, and life sciences. In the SPL of computer science/business informatics, physics, mathematics and sports science the percentage of women in bachelor's and master’s/diploma programs is below or around 40 %. Only for the first two SPLs, this is also true for students in the teacher education program.

The situation is different in the doctoral program, where the proportion of women is above 60 % in four SPLs and below 40 % in six SPLs.
