3. The University of Zürich first admitted women as full matriculants in 1864, followed by Sweden in 1870, and Paris and Finland in 1871. Although women had been allowed to study in English universities since 1849, they were not allowed to sit for examinations until 1865 and only received degreees in the twentieth century.Google Scholar
