UGM consistently measures and tracks women’s graduation rate. Relevant university units (i.e. University Quality Assurance and Reputation Unit) can access the university’s digital gender tracking system, the UGM Data Mart, to continuously monitor the diversity of the university community. This ensures that women at UGM are represented equally. The dataset available not only shows the number of graduates for each graduation period but also tracks the number of women who register each semester. Therefore, the graduation success rate is easily observed.
In 2024, there is a higher percentage of female graduates compared to male graduates, with women comprising over 54% of each graduating class at UGM. This statistic underscores the university’s success in fostering an environment where women can thrive academically.
UGM also indirectly assesses women’s graduation rate by examining the gender distribution of participants attending events targeted at fresh graduates. These events include Integrated Career Days 2023, the UGM Integrated Career Days 2023, and the SV UGM Career Days. In the SV UGM Career Days alone, 22 industries took part, offering employment opportunities for new graduates, needless to say for both men and women, as well as vocational training for students in their final year.
