The bar chart illustrates how many male and female students studied six different subjects (linguistics, psychology, natural sciences, engineering, programing, and mathematics) in 2005.
Overall, it can be seen more male research students than females in 2005. Although the most popular subject for both genders was natural sciences, men least preferred linguistics and women showed little interested in mathematics. Linguistics was the only subject that was favored by women more than men.
There was a similar number of men and women in three subjects. There were equal numbers in research students learning natural sciences. There was a difference between the genders of about 25 in both psychology and linguistic with more than women chose linguistics (around 110) and more men taking psychology (200).
A difference of about half was evident in engineering and programing where 150 men chose both subjects. By contrast, 200 men selected mathematics which was approximately five fold that of women (about 40).
