Aberystwyth computer science department ‘most gender-diverse’

But female academics in the field remain underrepresented, fuelling a ‘vicious cycle’, study finds

The computer science department at Aberystwyth University has been named the most gender-diverse among its counterparts at UK universities—but female academics in the field remain seriously underrepresented across the country.

According to an analysis of the top-ranked 25 computer science departments in the UK from the global cybersecurity company CrowdStrike, 33.3 per cent of teaching and research staff at the Welsh university are women.
