| Sumario: | The process of women's integration into the university system was an achievement for women's rights, but even so, prejudices still exist regarding their role within this system or associated stereotypes about the careers they should study. For this reason, the present research aims to analyse the beliefs and attitudes about the role of women in the university system in public and private institutions in the city of Buenos Aires and the suburbs of Buenos Aires. For this purpose, an empirical study was carried out with 142 students from public and private, secular and religious universities, and from psychology and engineering courses. The results show that participants exhibit rigid gender stereotypes and moderate levels of sexism. At the same time, significant differences in attitudes towards women were identified according to the characteristics of the institution and the degree programme studied by the participants. |
