Gender equity constitutes a fundamental pillar of higher education, particularly in scientific careers, where inequalities in student participation and professional development persist. This descriptive, cross-sectional study with a mixed methods approach analyzed perceptions of gender equity among students from the Faculty of Natural, Exact and Technological Sciences (FACINET) at the Colón Regional University Center of the University of Panama. Using non-probabilistic convenience sampling, a structured questionnaire was administered to 156 students (from a total population of 761). The instrument assessed students’ interest in gender equity related issues, perceived impact on professional development. The results indicate that 78.9% of the students consider the incorporation of a gender perspective into their academic training to be important, reflecting a growing awareness of the influence of gender issues on knowledge construction, teaching and learning processes, research development and professional practice. This study provides empirical evidence on gender dynamics within the university context and highlights the need to implement strategies the promote equity in access, retention and professional development for all students, regardless of gender.
