KMUTNB is committed to promoting gender equality and empowering female students in higher education. To achieve this, the university has established women’s mentoring schemes designed to provide guidance, professional development, and support for female students in various academic disciplines, particularly in fields where women are underrepresented.
The mentoring schemes aim for all female students to actively participate annually. These programs connect students with experienced faculty members, industry professionals, and senior students to provide advice on academic progression, career planning, leadership development, and personal growth. Through these initiatives, KMUTNB fosters an inclusive learning environment that nurtures women’s potential and supports their academic and professional success.
KMUTNB is committed to ensuring gender equity in academic achievement and student success. To support this commitment, the University has established mechanisms to measure and track the graduation rates of women compared to men across all faculties and programs. This initiative aims to identify potential disparities in academic performance, retention, and graduation outcomes, allowing the University to implement targeted interventions that promote fairness and equal opportunity for all students.
Data on student progression, retention, and graduation is collected and analyzed annually by the Office of Academic Affairs in collaboration with faculty-level academic units. The analysis disaggregates data by gender to monitor trends and detect any gaps between male and female students in terms of graduation rates, time to completion, and academic performance. These findings are reviewed by the University’s Gender Equality and Student Development Committees to inform policy decisions and student support strategies.
In cases where gender disparities are identified, KMUTNB implements specific schemes to close the gap. These include academic mentoring programs that pair students with faculty advisors, peer tutoring initiatives to support students facing academic challenges, and career counseling services to help students stay motivated and focused on their studies. Special attention is given to women enrolled in underrepresented fields such as engineering and technology, ensuring they have access to academic resources, networking opportunities, and support groups.
