Undergraduate women at Bristol ahead of the national picture

Benchmarking against national statistics for Earth Sciences schools shows that undergraduate women at Bristol have increased to be the majority over the last three years, as shown in the graph below. These proportions are well ahead of national figures shown in the table.

The School encourages applications for undergraduate degrees from women by reflecting this gender balance through equal proportions of female and male staff representing the School at Open Days, and through equal representation of women and men on the School’s webpages and promotional images.
