Abstract

This paper presents the results of research on female students at three different faculties of informatics: Novi Sad in Serbia, Plovdiv in Bulgaria and Tirana in Albania. The idea of this paper is to analyze and compare female students' attitudes towards studying informatics (Computer Science - CS or Information Communication Technologies -- ICT and their expectations for future career. Therefore, we have collected female students' opinions, experiences, attitudes, and perspectives, on current studies, employment opportunities and expectations of future professional careers. Reliable statistical tests were used for a detailed analysis of student responses. The obtained results indicate that the opinions of female students vary, depending on the place where they study.
