What are the UB students like? 

Acadèmic The results of the survey "The students' living and study conditions" have been published. A minority of students of the University of Barcelona (14.5%) have family members with a low level of employment, a figure that illustrates that equity in higher education is a challenge that has yet to be met. This is one of the conclusions of the first edition of the survey "The students' living and study conditions", carried out by the Student Observatory of the UB's Vice-Rector's Office for Students and Participation. The results also show inequalities in gender distribution according to subject areas: women are more present in health sciences and men in sciences and technical disciplines, and in dual pathways. In this sense, it is also noteworthy that there are more students who identify as non-binary gender in the studies of arts and humanities. It is also relevant that, for example, 65% of students are convinced that the university education they are taking will help them find a job; more than 90% prefer face-to-face or blended rather than virtual learning, and less than 5% are involved in student associations or unions. The survey was open to all undergraduate, official university master's, master's and postgraduate students, and doctoral students, and it was completed by some 3,300 people.
