Aswan University has a leading role in supporting underrepresented groups. For example, applications of women in subjects, particularly science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, where they may be underrepresented.
Aswan University is committed to addressing the underrepresentation of women, promoting equitable access to quality education, and ensuring impactful educational outcomes for both males and females.
And not only in terms of education, but also in terms of social, cultural and awareness, where women participate in all kinds of activities and fields carried out by the university. For details of activities of several academic years as per below:
