As for the male-dominated subjects, male mathematics in IT-related subjects was 200 students, which was almost seven times as many as that of their female counterparts. Similarly, the figure for males opting for psychology was 200 students compared to approximately 175 female students, whereas this was a smaller gender gap than in math. Regarding the engineering and programming, these disciplines had relatively similar numbers (150 male students), as opposed to about 75 female programming students, 25 fewer female students than the engineering.
As for the remaining subjects. The number of males and females joining in this subject exhibited an opposite tendency, standing at 60 male students and around 125 female students, respectively.
