STEM for women

The number of students of TU Dresden has greatly increased in recent years. The number of women who opt for studies in STEM subjects is, however, only growing slowly. STEM hereby stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. In the winter semester 2014/2015, the proportion of female new students in the field of physics amounted to 22.9 per cent, in the field of computer science to 14.8 percent, in mechanical engineering to 18 and in electrical engineering to 17 percent.

The target of TU Dresden is to inform young women about their opportunities to study in a technical or scientific field and to motivate them to take up studies at TU Dresden. It is considered that the orientation phase of future students already begins in the kindergarten age and extends until a successful career start.
