AB It is more and more evident that there is diversity among university students, but this diversity encompasses a wide varietyof personal characteristics that, on occasion, may be subject to rejection or discrimination. The feeling of inequality is theresult of one stand‐alone characteristic or an intersection of many. To widen our knowledge of this diversity and to beable to design actions with an inclusive approach, we have set out to explore the relationship between students’ feelingsof discrimination, their group identification and their intersections. Participants for the study are selected from protectedgroups which fall into the following criteria: ethnic minority, illness, migrant minority, disability, linguistic minority, sexualorientation, income, political ideology, gender, age and religion. We will refer to this relationship as the ‘discriminationrate.’ To fulfil our objective, we have given a questionnaire to a sample of 2,553 students from eight Spanish universities.The results indicate that the characteristics with which they most identify are religion, age, sex and political ideology.However, the highest rate of discrimination is linked to linguistic minority, ideology and migration. Regarding intersectionality,it is worth noting that 16.6% of students feel discriminated against for more than one characteristic, with the mostfrequent relationships being the following: (1) ethnic or migrant minorities (2) sexual orientation, sex, being under 30,leftist ideology, low income, linguistic minority and (3) Christian Catholic, right‐wing and upper‐class ideology.
