摘要：This paper examines the distribution of the universities by gender through a percentage of women within the student body, and checks if such distribution has any relation to the position of the universities in the university rankings. Seven rankings, have been selected, both global and synthetic, and a joint database collecting all data on gender distribution of students from 924 universities was created. The results confirm that universities with a more balanced distribution between men and women receive higher scores and, therefore, better ranking positions. The universities with the highest female presence in the students are those with the highest ratio of students per teacher and those with the highest average scores in internationalization indicators. In the indicators of Nobel prizes, Fields medals, and income from the industry, those universities with the highest male presence have higher average scores. These results can contribute to the improvement of equality policies in universities, as well as to guide the strategic and management decisions.
