                                               4  Statistics of TU Dresden only distinguish between female proportions and the to-
                                                  tal share. This means that in the Factbook Diversity the statistics are presented
                                                  in two categories female and non-female (i.e., male, diverse or no data). If sta-
                                                  tistics explicitly show male proportions, these are also referred to as such.
